Study reveals a cost-effective program of health interventions against COVID-19
Across the U.S., the relaxation of statewide physical distancing measures that are designed to control the COVID-19 pandemic frequently resulted in an immediate reversal of public health gains against SARS-CoV-2.
Government-issued physical distancing orders significantly slowed the COVID-19 epidemic, leading to an estimated reduction of more than 600,000 cases within three weeks of implementation.
