What does Social Distancing mean?

Stopping a pandemic in its tracks calls for cooperation, patience, hand washing and, yes, isolation. We can do it.

• · Social distancing means taking extra measures to put distance between yourself and other people to further reduce your risk of being exposed to this new virus.
• · Stay away from others — literally.
• · Forget hugs and handshakes.
• · Work at home, if you can.
• · Wash your hands meaningfully (at least 20 seconds; song optional) and often.
• · Travel with hand sanitizer and use it.
• · Skip concerts, conferences and the soccer game.
• · Stay home as much as possible.
• · Limit close interactions with friends and coworkers (keep 6 feet in between you).
