After several weeks of stay-at-home orders, all 50 states are currently in the process of reopening to some degree. But the lift on restrictions doesn’t mean the risk of COVID-19 has diminished.
State lockdowns weren’t ever meant to be long-term solutions to the pandemic. They were intended to give hospitals a chance to prepare for an influx of patients, give researchers time to learn more about the new coronavirus, and slow the spread of COVID-19.
However, the reopening of businesses, parks, and beaches in some areas have led many people to return to unsafe behaviors, such as gathering in large crowds, potentially contributing to a surge in cases.
Experts advise continued caution as we try to move forward and urge everyone to keep in mind that they’re still at risk, no matter how much of their state has reopened.
