Is it safe to leave quarantine?

By Isis Williams, Staff Intern

We’ve just entered into May, which means we’re also entering into the second month of having to stay at home due to COVID-19.

Although some have decided to get out earlier than that, my family and I have still decided that it’s safer if we keep inside and only go out when necessary.

Some states like Georgia already have begun lifting their stay-at-home measures, which has been controversial.

As for Florida, specifically in Broward County, a lot of stores remain open through certain times.

I recently went to the store over the weekend and saw a mall parking lot filled with cars, so I’m not exactly sure what has opened up in my area. I think people shouldn’t be in such a rush to go out yet and take advantage of getting to stay home from school or work, considering that cases are still increasing.
