A Note From the Alliance Related to the Coronavirus
1 minute read
The Alliance for Lifetime Income is closely monitoring the impact of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) and its effect on communities, the economy and financial markets across the country. The safety and health of the public is a priority for the Alliance. The evolving situation surrounding coronavirus has created an environment of uncertainty across all aspects of our daily life.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, early information about COVID-19 shows that older people and those with chronic diseases are at higher risk of getting sick from this illness. The Alliance provides Americans approaching and living in retirement with educational resources, tools and insights about reducing risk in retirement. As part of that mission, we want to make you aware of resources and information about COVID-19 provided by government health authorities and the World Health Organization.
We encourage you to utilize these resources for guidance, to answer common questions and remain up to date on the latest COVID-19 developments.
