# Key health guidance

The majority of health guidance on symptoms, how to protect yourself, and resources for specific groups like travelers, pregnant people, etc. are largely applicable to all Americans. The CDC & the White House have been publishing and curating the authoritative, up-to-date content in this category.

[Coronavirus.gov](https://www.coronavirus.gov/) is the website that is created and curated by the White House Coronavirus Task Force. It links out to important pages on the CDC’s website or other authoritative sources. The design of this page is also very simple, clear, and action-oriented. As this website is currently not embeddable on other websites (we are working to see if this is possible!), our current recommendation is to take the links from [coronavirus.gov](https://www.coronavirus.gov/) and to add those links to your own website.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://covid-websites.usdigitalresponse.org/info-to-put-on-your-site/homepage-and-overall-structure-breakdown/key-health-guidance.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
