Coronavirus: What Is Social Distancing? Dos And Don’ts Of Social Distancing
Social distancing, the two words has changed the way we act and interact with family, friends, colleagues and even strangers during this lockdown period. Governments have urged citizens to practice social distancing to reduce the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19).
What Is Social Distancing?
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) defines social distancing as "keeping space between yourself and other people outside of your home".
Social distancing, also called physical distancing, should be practiced by keeping a distance of six feet from other people, avoiding large gatherings and staying out of crowded places.

Why Practice Social Distancing?
Coronavirus
primarily
spreads
from
person
to
person,
when
the
infected
person
coughs,
sneezes
or
talks
and
the
water
droplets
from
their
mouth
and
nose
comes
in
contact
with
the
eyes,
nose
or
mouth
of
a
person
who
is
in
close
contact
i.e.
within
six
feet
for
a
long
period
of
time.
Also,
many
people
will
not
show
any
symptoms
after
they
have
contracted
the
virus
which
is
known
as
asymptomatic
transmission.
This
is
where
social
distancing
comes
into
play.
Practicing
social
distancing
is
necessary
because
it
helps
limit
contact
with
infected
people.
