WASHINGTON -- The U.S. surgeon general on Tuesday said California's early efforts helped to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus.
"When you look at places like California, that aggressively mitigated and social distanced, they were able to level and flatten their curve," Dr. Jerome Adams said in an interview with "Good Morning America."

"And so we're looking at this next 30 days as an opportunity for the entire country to understand: If you do the right thing, then we can flatten our curves in our own different areas and actually get to the other side," Adams said.
"But here's the most important thing: Even if you do wear a mask, it can't be at the expense of social distancing. We don't want people to think, 'Hey, I'm going to wear a face covering, so it's appropriate for me to go around other people.' The most important thing to do is for people to stay at home," Dr. Adams said.
