Strict social distancing—or better yet, "physical distancing"—works to stop the spread of SARS-CoV-2, finds Johns Hopkins Epi study. bit.ly/3ihxyXp

Covid-19 Study Links Strict Social Distancing to Much Lower Chance of Infection Using public transportation, visiting a place of worship, or otherwise traveling from the home is associated with a significantly higher likelihood of testing positive with the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2.
