Signature Bank going under is proof that contagion was indeed happening, contra what some people (e.g. Paul Krugman) were saying.

This decisive action by the government (both ensuring depositors will be made whole immediately, and the Federal Reserve giving out extra liquidity) should ensure that the contagion doesn't spread any further though, an banks like First Republic will avoid going under as well.
