What is it?
- Social distancing is important because coronavirus (and/or cold and flu/air borne viruses) spreads when an infected person coughs small droplets – packed with the virus – into the air. These can be breathed in, or cause an infection if you touch a surface they have landed on, then your eyes, nose or mouth.
- The less time people spend together, the less chance there is of this happening.
- Everyone is now being told to follow social distancing measures, especially the over-70s, and those (irrespective of age) who have a weakened immune system, pregnant women and those who normally eligible for a flu jab.
- Work from home whenever possible
- Avoid all unnecessary travel
- Stay away from crowded places
- Avoid gatherings with friends and families wherever possible
