Public Health Canada has done a great job of outlining the rules of physical distancing (aka social distancing); please take a look at the infographic below:
What does physical distancing mean
This means making changes in your everyday routines in order to minimize close contact with others, including:
avoiding crowded places and gatherings
avoiding common greetings, such as handshakes
limiting contact with people at higher risk (e.g. older adults and those in poor health)
keeping a distance of at least 2 arms lengths (approximately 2 metres) from others, as much as possible
Here's how you can practise physical distancing:
greet with a wave instead of a handshake, a kiss or a hug
if feasible, order groceries online
conduct virtual meetings
If possible,
use food delivery services or online shopping
exercise at home or outside
work from home
If you are unsure if an activity falls within physical distancing guidelines, reach out to your family physician or visit the World Health Organization website for more information.
