Outbreak | Pandemic
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.

Cleaning a surface with soap and water reduces the overall amount of germs, and spraying that surface with a disinfectant kills the remaining germs. The CDC recommend the use of an EPA-registered household disinfectant. High touch surfaces like tables, doorknobs, light switches, faucets, toilets, and sinks should be routinely cleaned and disinfected.

Protective masks should be worn in grocery stores, pharmacies, and gas stations, and pregnant mothers should take extra precautions, as they are at a greater risk of getting sick from respiratory viruses.

People can wear protective masks to slow down the spread of contagious diseases, such as COVID-19 and the flu. Protective masks limit the spread of particles that carry infection between people. Wearing protective masks on a day-to-day basis may be a novel concept for many people, but it is a common practice in healthcare and construction settings.

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.
