Social Distancing

In all the reporting and stories coming out of the current Covid-19 pandemic, you have likely heard the phrase “social distancing” used in reference to slowing the spread of the disease. 

Social distancing is a broad term for a model of keeping individuals as isolated from one another as possible. Some common practices of social distancing include:

–Personal Isolation or Quarantine

–Cancellation of Mass Gatherings (sporting events, concerts, etc.)

–Self-shielding (using face masks)
