The CDC is offering a symptom checker chatbot that can be built into any website, so we have designed HTML for it to be easily added in the Custom HTML widget or Info Advanced editor on any page where you want the chatbot to be present. Below (and attached) is the HTML code to add this symptom checker in the default CDC blue and inline on a page.
<button class="cdc-chatbot-button" title="Check your symptoms using a CDC chat bot.">
<img src="https://www.cdc.gov/TemplatePackage/contrib/widgets/healthBot/covid19/images/cdcLogo.svg" />Coronavirus
Self-Checker
</button>
<div class="cdc-chatbot-overlay cdc-chatbot-closed">
<div class="cdc-chatbot-header">
<img src="https://www.cdc.gov/TemplatePackage/contrib/widgets/healthBot/covid19/images/cdcLogo.svg" />
<span class="cdc-chatbot-headerText">Coronavirus Self-Checker</span>
<button type="button" class="cdc-chatbot-close" aria-label="Close" tab-index="2">
<span aria-hidden="true">×</span>
</button>

If you would like to make it docked to the corner of the page and fixed while scrolling, change cdcChatbot(false); to cdcChatbot(true);
The styles for the button can be updated by changing the color options in the .cdc-chatbot-button section for the regular button, and both the .cdc-chatbot-button and .cdc-chatbot-buttonFixed sections for the fixed button. These operate like Advanced Styles.
