Social Distancing is a safety measure intended to minimize the risks of getting infected, right now this is a measure against the Coronavirus. The main purpose of social distancing is to avoid disease transmission. WHO recommends maintaining at least 1 meter away from anyone who is coughing or sneezing as they spray liquid droplets out of their nose and mouth that may contain the virus. Becoming too close to a person can even cause you to breathe in these droplets. Because we never know if a stranger will happen to cough or sneeze, it is best to maintain a safe distance between everyone, especially when out in public.
The concept of social distancing has introduced a new lifestyle to people all over the world. Pictures have gone viral showing people in Thailand practicing social distancing, and most of them are very creative and funny.
