Timing of Community Mitigation and Changes in Reported COVID-19 and Community Mobility - Four U.S. Metropolitan Areas, February 26–April 1, 2020
2020
Overview
Lasry et al discuss the timing of community mitigation and changes in reported COVID-19 and community mobility in four metropolitan areas in the US from Feb 26 to Apr 1, 2020. Community mitigation activities are actions that persons and communities can take to slow the spread of infectious diseases. Mitigation strategies include personal protective measures that persons can use at home or while in community settings; social distancing and environmental surface cleaning at home and in community settings, such as schools or workplaces. Actions such as social distancing are especially critical when medical countermeasures such as vaccines or therapeutics are not available. Although voluntary adoption of social distancing by the public and community organizations is possible, public policy can enhance implementation. The CDC Community Mitigation Framework recommends a phased approach to implementation at the community level, as evidence of community spread of disease increases or begins to decrease and according to severity. Here, the initial data from the metropolitan areas of San Francisco CA, Seattle WA, New Orleans LA and New York City are presented to describe the relationship between timing of public policy measures, community mobility, and temporal trends in reported COVID-19 cases.
