Experts Say 'Patchwork Of Policies' Are Creating COVID-19 Hotspots
- 4 years ago
Experts who run the US COVID Atlas say many current COVID-19 hotspots across the country are in areas along state borders.
They say that's because different governments have taken different approaches to contain the spread of the novel coronavirus.
This includes regions in Arkansas and Tennessee, as well as Louisiana and Mississippi, which are effectively separated by the Mississippi River.
According to UPI, the researchers say parts of southern Arizona and California have also been similarly impacted.
