Restricted their travel restricted interacting with others socially the lockdown measures were able to slow the spread of the virus and dramatically in some cases slow the speed at which new cases appeared but as communities began to slow those rates and lift the measures and become more permissive in terms of being able to get out of the house being able to dine at restaurants being able to mix socially as well as going back to work and back to school were seeing people mix in new ways now were seeing exposures surge again as people who have been as communities that have been quite strict just a few weeks ago begin to relax some of those measures and the results in many places as a resurgence in cases.
