The curve is flattening thanks in large part to masks and social distancing
These days, on the few occasions we leave our homes, it’s not uncommon to encounter more people wearing masks than those who are not.
Covering the mouth and nose, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has strongly encouraged the practice of wearing a mask in public in an effort to flatten the COVID-19 curve — to help stem the spread of the coronavirus and avoid overwhelming the nation’s healthcare system.
Recent data has proved encouraging. The practice of wearing a mask and social distancing has shown it’s slowing the spread. To build upon this progress, these practices will continue.
