New York, New Jersey and Connecticut issued a travel advisory for the people arriving from states with high coronavirus rates to quarantine for 14 days. Our state was included in the states with high Covid-19 infection rate.
Some of my Japanese friends asked me if my family and I are doing fine. They told me the Japanese news have been talking about Arizona of its high Covid-19 infection rate.
Despite the fact the infection rate has been rising, the local people act like everything has gotten back to completely normal. Recently for these one month, whenever I went some public areas such as grocery stores, I rarely see people with a facial mask. Obviously the people without a facial mask outnumbers the people who wears it.

Update: Effective on June 27, in our neighbor city, the mayor issued an emergency declaration requiring that people over the age of 10 wear face coverings or shields while in public. Our small town still stays as “strongly recommended to wear a face covering” but not mandatory.
I thought of Japan. They never had such declaration regarding a wearing a facial mask.
