&lt;h3 style="font-size: 24px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; 
&lt;p style="font-size: 16px; text-align: center;"&gt;The emergence of the COVID-19 has altered nearly every aspect of society as we work to contain&lt;br&gt;the spread. In most parts of the country, restaurants have been shuttered, events cancelled,&lt;br&gt;and face masks became a part of daily wardrobes. Yet despite collective efforts, confirmed&lt;br&gt;cases of the virus have continued to grow with more than 10.2mm global infections and 2.6mm,&lt;br&gt;or almost 26%, of the infections occurring in the United States (the actual number is likely much&lt;br&gt;higher with many countries suspected of either accidentally or purposefully under reporting&lt;br&gt;case numbers).&lt;/p&gt;</description>
