Hi. i live in new york city, it seems as though the "phases to reopening" are set at two week intervals--what can people do to feel more comfortable with the increase in human contact and interaction taking place simply because two weeks have passed?

Protect yourself: Even though we can go out in RI now, I still only leave my house (other than walks in the open) if I have to. Wash hands often with warm water & soap for at least 20 seconds. Avoid touching eyes, nose or mouth unless hands have just been washed. Use a face covering or mask when in public. Practice social distancing – stay at least 6 feet from others. Stay away from crowds. Stay home when possible
