Social distancing for coronavirus (COVID-19)

One way to slow the spread of viruses is social distancing (also called physical distancing).

The more space between you and others, the harder it is for the virus to spread.

Social distancing in public means people:

• stay at home unless is absolutely necessary
• keep 1.5 metres away from others
• avoid physical greetings such as handshaking, hugs and kisses
• use tap and pay instead of cash
• travel at quiet times and avoid crowds
• avoid public gatherings and at risk groups
• practise good hygiene
