But don’t be fooled, experts say: Reopening does not mean the pandemic is over.

Keith Grant, a senior system director for infection prevention and an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse at Hartford Healthcare Group in Connecticut, spoke to NEXTabout steps we can take to try to avoid COVID-19 during this reopening phase.
