While state health experts know people will have more contact with others, they don’t want them to visit everybody they’ve missed right away.
Deputy Secretary Julie Willems Van Dijk of the Department of Health Services says someone without any symptoms, or mild ones, could spread the virus to all of those people. She says that could even lead to “starting the fire up all over again.”
Willems Van Dijk is asking people to give health officials more time to see how things are going, now that more places are reopening.
