Introduction[edit | edit source]
One of the most effective ways of limiting the spread of an infectious disease, for instance, Covid-19, is to practice Social Distancing. This is not a new concept, as most societies have been aware of the value of keeping away from people who are suffering from an infection for many generations.
What does Social Distancing Involve?[edit | edit source]
The term means staying away from close contact with other people.
It has been suggested that maintaining a distance of 2 metres from another individual results in a marked reduction in transmission of most flu virus strains, including COVID-19.
In practice, this means that avoiding close proximity to other people will aid in slowing the spread of infectious diseases.
How does it work?[edit | edit source]
The virus that causes COVID-19 is currently spreading easily from person-to-person.
