According to the CDC, the virus identified on Feb. 11, 2020, by the World Health Organization, is a coronavirus disease 2019 or COVID-19. This is not the same as a coronavirus that normally circulates among humans.
There are many types of human coronavirus, the strain the world is seeing today has not previously been seen in humans.
According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is thought to be spread mainly from person-to-person. This can be between people who are in close contact with one another and through respiratory droplets such as coughs and sneezes.
The virus is thought to be most contagious when the person afflicted happen to be most symptomatic, however there is information that indicates the virus can be spread before symptoms develop.
COVID-19 can live on surfaces outside of the human body for an extended amount of time.
You can assist in efforts to stop the spread through:

Americans who are eagerly waiting for checks from the coronavirus stimulus package signed by President Donald Trump on March 27 won’t have to wait much longer.
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) announced over the Easter weekend that the first coronavirus stimulus checks were being deposited into some taxpayers banks accounts.
#IRS deposited the first Economic Impact Payments into taxpayers’ bank accounts today. We know many people are anxious to get their payments; we’ll continue issuing them as fast as we can. For #COVIDreliefIRS updates see: https://t.co/hEEWmgHA9V pic.twitter.com/2bSHOTjMAS
— IRS (@IRSnews) April 11, 2020
Who’s getting a check first?
The people who will receive the first checks are those who filed their taxes in 2018 or 2019 and received refunds through direct deposit.
Those who didn’t file their taxes or are very low income will have to wait longer for their money. Paper checks should start going out in early May.
Elise Gould, a senior economist with the Economic Policy Institute said that others might not receive their money until mid-summer.
“There’s going to have to be a way to collect their information, and that process could take a couple months,” Gould said.
If the IRS doesn’t have your current bank information for direct deposit, the agency is putting together a web portal that users can use to check the status on their stimulus checks. This tool should be launched by Friday, April 17.
If you would like to view the stimulus check tracker info, you can go here.
The IRS launched the page to allow those who didn’t file their taxes to provide the federal government with payment information.
How much will I get?
Some people are wondering just how much they’ll receive from the federal government after the COVID-19 pandemic.
People who make $75,000 or less will receive $1,200. That amount is changed for people who make $99,000 or more.
U.S. residents will receive the Economic Impact Payment of $1,200 for individual or head of household filers while those filing jointly as married will receive $2,400 as long as they aren’t dependent on another taxpayers. You must also have a work eligible Social Security number with adjusted gross incomes up to:
Taxpayers will receive a reduced payment if their Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) is between:
The amount of the stimulus check will depend on the taxpayers specific AGI.
You will also receive a stimulus check if you:
You will not receive the stimulus check if your adjusted gross income is greater than:
You will not be eligible to receive the money if you:
You also don’t need to take any additional action to receive the aid if you:
Social Security and Railroad retirees as well as SSDI who have qualifying children will also receive an additional $500 per qualifying child.
The IRS also has plans to mail a letter concerning the economic impact payment to the taxpayers last known address within about 15 days that the payment is sent. The IRS is also urging taxpayers to be on the lookout for scamp artists when they receive their impact payments.
It’s important to note that the IRS will NOT
Individuals will receive the money by direct deposit or by paper check.

NewsCenter1 is committed to keeping Western South Dakota informed on the latest information available on the COVID-19 outbreak. This page of our website has been dedicated as a full resource on everything that our viewers need to know about the outbreak in South Dakota and how they can continue to help each other through these hard times.
As a community leader and locally owned business, we have taken proactive measures to limit our staff’s potential exposure; This includes extra cleaning measures in our office, studio and control rooms, identifying staff that can effectively work from home, spreading out remaining staff through our building to maintain CDC personal distancing guidelines and finding ways for our reporting staff to work from home as much as possible.
We know how important it is to stay informed, to stay safe and to stay connected during these times and hope you find this resource as a way to stay tuned in to all three.
If you are a restaurant in the Black Hills area and are interested in letting the public know that you are open for business and/or continuing to offer delivery or curb-side, please submit your logo & information below.
