How the Chinese Community in the U.S. Keeps COVID-19 Cases Low

By April 22, America had reported over 820,000 confirmed cases of COVID-19. While the pandemic has affected people across the country, the diagnosis rate in the Chinese community is significantly lower than in other communities.

So, what’s their secret? Early in January 2020, before COVID-19 even reached America, Chinese residents were already taking proactive steps to protect themselves and their families.

In San Francisco, members of the Chinese community share the measures they've implemented to stay safe. From rigorous mask-wearing and regular sanitization to community support systems that ensure everyone has access to necessary resources, their preparedness has played a crucial role in keeping cases low.

These strategies not only highlight the importance of early action but also showcase the strength of community solidarity in times of crisis.

As we navigate through ongoing challenges, there's a lot to learn from how the Chinese community has managed to stay ahead in the fight against COVID-19.
