Statewide COVID‐19 Stay‐at‐Home Orders and Population Mobility in the United States	2020-07-29		.txt	text/plain	3948	164	50	The pandemic led to large decreases in mobility even in states without legal restrictions on travel, but statewide orders were effective public health policy tools for reducing human movement below the level achieved through voluntary behavior change. In the United States, the first coronavirus-related activity restrictions were issued on March 12, 2020, when a community within New Rochelle, New York, was declared to be a "containment area." A traditional quarantine order would require individuals presumed to be exposed to stay at home. The first statewide order in the United States that restricted mobility to reduce the transmission of coronavirus was issued by California's governor on March 19, 2020, and it required all residents to remain at home except when engaging in essential activities (Friedson, McNichols, Sabia, & Dave, 2020) . The observed differences in statewide mobility patterns provide evidence that stay-at-home orders are effective in reducing population-level movement below the rate that can be achieved by individuals voluntarily changing their behaviors.	./cache/cord-345458-st9fltpy.txt	./txt/cord-345458-st9fltpy.txt
