These US states have tamed coronavirus, even after reopening. Here’s how they’re doing it, and why they can’t let up

CNN  

CNN — When Covid-19 suddenly ravaged New York, hospitals looked “apocalyptic.” Refrigerated trucks turned into morgues because there wasn’t enough space for all the victims. “This means that this group of people knew to stay home, and likely did not spread the virus further.” How they’re planning to keep Covid-19 under control: When schools reopen this fall, “All staff and students are required to wear facial coverings while in the building, as well as outside where physical distancing cannot be maintained,” according to guidance issued last month by state health and education officials. The state health department “also translated public health information about COVID-19 into as many as 11 different languages to ensure that everyone in Maine knows how to stay safe,” spokesperon Jackie Farwell said. So working with the state housing authority, Maine established safe quarantine and isolation sites in several cities “for individuals who lack the ability to safely quarantine or isolate at home.” Maine has also postponed the reopening of indoor bar service until further notice after seeing other states’ spikes in Covid-19 cases – including new outbreaks that were linked to indoor bars.
