Coronavirus (COVID-19) has spread through communities in many countries now. The world is now grieving due to COVID-19 coronavirus with Italy, Spain, and the USA, the worst affected countries. This very infectious & till-date untreatable disease COVID-19 is gripping us day by day. The virus is also known as the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). This virus originated from a wet market in Wuhan, the capital of Hubei China and spread globally.
The COVID-19 virus spreads primarily through droplets of saliva, from the nose of an infected person when he/she coughs or sneezes, so it’s critical to avoid close contact with people. The best approach to fight this spread is to practice social distancing.
So what is Social Distancing?
Social distancing puts space among people, thus making them stay in their homes. When infected people stay away from others and public spaces, they can’t pass it to anyone else. This way, fewer people get infected by the virus at the same time. Thus, doctors and hospitals are better able to treat those who need care.
Social distancing can be done in different ways, depending on how many people in the community/locality are sick. Some of the social distancing methods include:
- closing places where people gather
- not getting together in person with friends
- not going to stores unless it is necessary
- working from home
- not taking public transportation, including buses, subways.

We can still be social, even during these tough and testing times. By taking advantage of technology such as social media and video apps to support each other, laugh together, and take care of each other until the virus is under control or there is a vaccine.
