“Social distancing and isolation is no longer a debate,” county Supervisor Andrew Do said Tuesday. “All over the world, this practice is put in place — from Denmark to Moscow, and here in the U.S. from New York to Washington state. The effectiveness in limiting the spread of COVID-19 can be found in how early the policy of shelter-in-place is implemented, and how rigorously people adhere to this policy.”
