Coughing can be a symptom of a positive respiratory infection. While everyone coughs to clear their throat from time to time, persistent coughing should be monitored with guidance from a healthcare provider to ensure others don’t get sick. When coughing, you should cough into your elbow, immediately wash your hands, avoid touching your face, and refrain from sharing eating utensils with others.

A social space is a gathering place where people gather and interact. It can be physical or virtual, like social media platforms. In physical social spaces there is usually a 4-12 feet distance between acquaintances. Some examples of social spaces are public places, such as town squares or parks, and others are privately owned and regulated, such as pubs and shopping malls.
Social spaces are used by various communities to conduct different types of social interaction, and it assigns appropriate places to different social relations. They can be used to implement a social cohesion in communities. As a result, the term spans greater than the dichotomy of public and private space.
Social space is perceived and adjusted depending on the situation and the level of friendship and/or understanding between people. A social spacing of 0’-4’ (0-1.22 m) between people would be considered too close. The most comfortable social spacing is typically in the range of 4’-7’ (1.22-2.13 m), while a distance of 7’-12’ (2.13-3.66 m) feels too far for social interactions.

As viruses can linger on surfaces, it important to vigilantly disinfect highly trafficked areas in homes and essential businesses. Further, other soft surfaces, electronics, and laundry should also be cleaned regularly to take further precautions. Disinfection workers should wear gloves and have good ventilation during chemical use for safety.

A disease outbreak occurs when infections are in excess of normal expectancy. In outbreaks that are spread from person to person through respiratory droplets, such as the coronavirus, wearing a cloth face covering in public settings helps to slow the spread. Protective masks should be worn where social distancing measures are difficult to maintain- grocery stores, pharmacies, and gas stations.
