Here's the problem in a nutshell:

But public health officials nationwide say case investigations are increasingly leading them to small, private social gatherings. This behind-doors transmission trend reflects pandemic fatigue and widening social bubbles, experts say — and is particularly insidious because it is so difficult to police and likely to increase as temperatures drop and holidays approach.

And honestly, this is the sort of thing that is going to be most difficult to try to prevent.  It's one thing to close bars and restaurants.  It's another to restrict people from having friends over.  The best approach is probably going to be educating people and doing a public awareness campaign and hoping for the best.  If you try to issue an public health edict, it will go over like a lead balloon.
