Across the United States, officials are rolling out a patchwork of restrictions on social distancing. The orders vary by state, county and even city. Restrictions are ramping up in many areas as cases surge nationwide. At the height of restrictions in late March and early April, more than 310 million Americans were under directives ranging from “shelter in place” to “stay at home.” Health officials warn that easing restrictions too soon could bring new outbreaks, but many states forged ahead.
