The U.S. surgeon General called on U.S. governors who haven’t issued statewide stay-at-home orders to combat the spread of coronavirus to at least “give us a week” of restrictions as health officials warn of an accelerating rate of infections and deaths
When asked for his message to those governors who have not yet issued such drastic orders, Adams called on them to follow the administration's guidelines, which include measures like avoiding social gatherings and discretionary travel.
“Ninety percent of Americans are doing their part, even in the states where they haven’t had a shelter-in-place. But If you can’t give us 30 days, governors, give us a week, give us what you can so that we don’t overwhelm our health care systems over this next week, and then let’s reassess.” “We are always telling people we would rather prevent disease than treat disease. I tell people we aren’t going to treat or supply our way out of this problem, there is no magic bullet or magic cure. It’s good old fashioned public health and prevention,” Adams said.and at least 309,700 cases in the country, according to NBC News.
Responding to the discussion over a stay-at-home order, Hutchinson said that because hundreds of thousands of Arkansans will still have to go into work regardless, “it’s more important a message that: Do your social distancing, don’t gather in groups of more than 10 people and bring a mask with you.”
