Social distancing is working to help curb the rapid spread of the novel coronavirus. We know this because we can see the change in infection rates in areas where the virus was spreading like wildfire prior to stay-at-home orders and social distancing mandates were issued.

Dr. Deborah Birx, one of the health officials on the White House coronavirus task force, says that keeping our distance from each other is something that will need to continue for some time.
