What is social distancing, and why do we need to do it?

Social distancing basically means stay at home. And if you have to leave your house, stay at least 6 feet away from other people at all times. Why? Because social distancing help stop the spread of bad germs that make people sick.

What is 6 feet? Picture a door lying down at your feet. Make sure that door is always between you and others.

Social distancing is so important right now that you're not going to school, a lot of adults aren't going to work, there's no eating inside restaurants, and all sports have been canceled.

We can't be physically close to others right now, but we can still do stuff with them.

Don't give people hugs or high-fives, but do send notes and drawings. Don't go to other people's houses or have people in your house, but do wave when you see them.

We won't always have to do social distancing, but all of us need to do it right now. You could be a hero by keeping everyone safe with social distancing.
