Social distancing is a protective measure to slow down or stop the spread of a contagious disease, which in this case is the coronavirus or COVID-19.
It involves the closure of buildings, limiting of large gatherings to less than 100 people, and cancellation of events to prevent physical contact. As human beings, we are inclined to connect, support and depend on each other.
However, COVID-19 is contracted from direct contact with an infected person, so that leaves us with no choice but but to maintain a safe distance of 1.5 metres (or 6 feet) for the time being.
To help you understand what social distancing entails, we list below what is acceptable and not based on what the government has implemented.
