New COVID-19-related resources

Late last week, School Library Journal released an article titled "IMLS, CDC Offer Guidance for Disinfecting Returned Library Books<https://www.slj.com/?detailStory=IMLS-CDC-offer-guidance-for-disinfecting-returned-books-library-journal-coronavirus-covid19&fbclid=IwAR2EG0IVrm-lTP_PaRigyFIsKCAUMQ6wGRUHmd7Ni0q9gcE3lYjG8BQ2bUQ>." It's largely a summary of the IMLS webinar from March 30 about managing paper-based circulating collections (recording available online<https://www.imls.gov/webinars/mitigating-covid-19-when-managing-paper-based-circulating-and-other-types-collections>). However, the article includes a link to a study publishe?d in the Lancet<https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanmic/article/PIIS2666-5247(20)30003-3/fulltext> that I had missed which includes this reassuring information: "No infectious virus could be recovered from printing and tissue papers after a 3-hour incubation?."?

See the SLJ article for more detail and recommendations for handling library materials.
