Since inception, they saw immediate success and have been working to figure out how to scale and serve more people.

    Response Location: Sweden

    Where government restrictions are lax, residents adopt social distancing measures voluntarily to mitigate the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. In Sweden, the trust between much of the country’s population and a public health system disinclined to advise for long-term shutdowns at the national level has left residents and businesses to enact social distancing and sheltering measures more gradually. In the long-term, there appears to be a relationship between Sweden’s relatively higher caseload and voluntary containment policies when compared to its neighbors.

    Response Location: United States, California

    Several statewide measures allowed California to mitigate its surge of COVID-19 cases by acting early. The state issued a mandatory stay-at-home order, which included making face masks mandatory and shutting down public parks during the Easter holiday. In addition to restricting movement, California also made testing widely available and managed to produce a surplus of ventilators. Furthermore, many tech companies quickly adopted work-from-home measures. The thoroughness and early nature of these responses helped the state avoid a surge as seen in New York.

    Response Location: United States, Tulsa, Oklahoma

    A nonprofit in Tulsa that used to teach immigrant and refugee women sewing skills as a means of income has pivoted to producing masks for the community instead. Even after the quarantine was imposed, the women who had a sewing machine at home coordinated a system with each other to drop off supplies and pick up masks, including creating a Whatsapp group for sewing questions. The process hasn't been perfect yet, and they are still working out the kinks, but voices in the organization describe the impact of being able to give back to one's community.
