• Description:
  What is already known about this topic? Stay-at-home orders and recommended personal protective practices were disseminated to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 in the United States. What is added by this report? During May 5-12, 2020, a survey among adults in New York City and Los Angeles and broadly across the United States found widespread support of stay-at-home orders and nonessential business closures and high degree of adherence to COVID-19 mitigation guidelines. Most respondents reported that they would feel unsafe if restrictions were lifted at the time of the survey. What are the implications for public health practice? Routine assessment of public priorities can guide public health decisions requiring collective action. Current levels of public support for restrictions and adherence to mitigation strategies can inform decisions about reopening and balancing duration and intensity of restrictions.
