Americans Are Starting to Have <br />'Quarantine Fatigue,' Study Says Researchers at the Maryland Transportation Institute <br />say social distancing efforts dropped three percent <br />across the U.S. in the last week. The findings were based on <br />cell phone location data that was <br />collected over the past few months. This is the first time the team <br />has seen a decline since March. The institute's Dr. Lei Zhang chalks it up to <br />Americans being tired of staying at home.

According to the study, Louisiana and North Carolina recorded the biggest recent activity jumps. New York, which leads in COVID-19 cases, has <br />seen its percentage of people staying home <br />fall four percent in the last week. California's percentage over that time has <br />dropped two percent as residents flock to beaches. Despite a decline in cases, Zhang says <br />the government should warn people <br />that COVID-19 is still dangerous. Dr. Lei Zhang, via <br />'The New York Times'
