Most states need to close again for this long, Johns Hopkins says
Only one of the recommendations for how the United States should reset its response to the pandemic.
Even though we enter the sixth month of pandemic coronavirus, the United States has not been able to achieve generalized control over coronavirus. CertainStates have managed to curb propagation and show signs of improvement, but others now see their greatest epidemics, clearly indicating that as a country,We are far from coviding. And with that being the case, a group of scientists and scholars from Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and Johns Hopkins Center for Health Safetypublished a series of recommendations On what the United States needs to change with regard to how Covid-19 is that one of them being that most states need to close again. According to the report,"Governors shouldReinstatement of home stay orders"If the numbers of their states are peak until things have improved for at least two weeks..
The document, published on July 29 and entitled "Resetting our answer: Changes necessary for the American approach to Covid-19", is a clear appeal to the country to examine the largest image of the pandemic. "The Covid-19 pandemic is a challenge beyond what's all [a] state, territory or community can handle alone," writes the authors. "Only our collective action that will generate the necessary change to resume control of this epidemic, avoid waterfall crises in our health system and economy and save a large number of lives across the United States."
As one of the following recommendations, the authors write: "In places where the epidemic worsens (increased daily incidence and positivity of high or higher tests), and systems hospitable are in crisis or approaching, governors shouldReinstatement of home stay orders Until the numbers are improving for at least 2 weeks. "
Based on the only test criteria, more than half of the United States states belong to the category of the United States category.Need to return to the lock. According to John Hopkins University & Medicine Data on July 31, at least 33 states had an average of seven days of daily positive test results at both the preceding and higher week of the 5% threshold of what is needed to be considered as safe for reopening.

How should states proceed once they have seen the two weeks of improving case numbers and fewer positive tests? "First, reintroducing a handful of low-risk activities and settings], then wait at least 2 weeks to assess the impact on the transmission before reopening," says John Hopkins.
For weeks, researchers from Harvard Global Health Institute (HGHI) have updated theirCOVID Risk Level Card, which classifying States based on their daily new cases. For those in the highest risk category, which are states find more than 25 new cases per 100,000 population per day, experts note that "Commands at home become necessary again. "According to this metric,These 13 states need to lock immediately these Harvard researchers.
