The health authority all over the world have
advised people to practice social distancing – curtailing contact and keeping
at least six feet between people – to slow and possibly reduce the spread of
COVID19.
Social distancing is not equal to self-quarantine
or isolation, but other means of minimizing the spread of coronavirus. The
major difference is that isolation limits the movement of people within a
specific zone to restricts the transfer of the infection or virus. But in
social distancing it places no such locational constraints, rather it is a
behavioral practice to lower the risk in many situations.
In these dreadful and uncertain times, people
are sharing the little ways in which they are trying to insert a sense of joy
and normality in their lives while keeping social distancing.
