Arizona Highway Signs Send a Reminder to Keep Distance During COVID-19 Pandemic
This is an image of a highway sign on the i17 in Arizona. These signs are being posted on every highway throughout the state. This particular sign reads "Keep your distance on highways and in person." Images like this show the measures Arizona is taking as they try to keep citizens indoors and out of large groups. Interestingly enough, you would only see this message if you were out of your house which is the opposite of following the guidelines put in place. Seeing these messages on the road are nerve-racking and make the entire pandemic feel even more real than the news. -

Florida megachurch pastor arrested for breaching Covid-19 health order
This article is about the arrest of Pastor Rodney Howard-Browne of Hernando County, Florida. The Pastor was arrested for holding two or more large church services after the social-distancing order was put into place. The services had more than 100 attendees who were all in close proximity to each other. Howard-Browne was criticized heavily for being “reckless” and putting many individuals in danger of contracting the virus. The article also states that there are a couple states throughout the United States that have decided to make an exception to the stay-at-home orders for faith and religion. Although Pastor Rodney states that his church was cleaned and all staff were taking precautions it still goes against the Hernando County order of having any gathering be less than ten people.
