SEATTLE – Researchers at the University of Washington say visiting just one friend during the coronavirus pandemic could undo the goal of social distancing.
With Washington state already weeks into its social distancing guidelines, many people are asking what the harm could be of visiting someone?
A team led by Steven Goodreau, a UW professor of anthropology, and Martina Morris, a UW professor emerita of sociology and statistics, launched a website on April 3 in an attempt to answer that question.
The research team began by visualizing how effective social distancing measures are on a hypothetical community of 200 households.
