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.

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.

Social distancing and physical distancing are interchangeable terms that mean keeping space between yourself and others who are outside of your home. The CDC recommends physically separating yourself from others with at least six feet, about two arms’ length, of space.
This is one of the best ways to help to slow the spread and avoid exposure of COVID-19. As the virus can spread between people before they know they are sick, physical distance from others is important even with people who may present no symptoms. Social distancing is crucial for people who are at higher risk of severe illness from COVID-19.
The CDC (Center for Disease Control and Prevention) recommended distance between people for preventing and limiting the spread of the Coronavirus, or COVID-19, is approximately 6’ (1.83 m). 6 feet (1.83 m) should be used as a minimum spacing for social distancing between people during COVID-19, and any distance less than 6’ (1.83 m) is considered 'close contact.'

Personal space is the physical distance immediately surrounding someone where any infringement of this space feels uncomfortable. This distance can vary from one person to another depending on the relationship between the people. Invasions of personal space can come from physical violations, and also from the sensory domain like noise pollution; the latter can be equally troubling.
Personal space varies depending on the situation and the interaction. A spacing of 0”-18” (0-45.7 cm) between people is often considered as being an intrusion of personal space, while a distance of 18”-30” (45.7-76.2 cm) is typically a comfortable zone for maintaining personal space. Being in the zone of 30”-48” (76.2-121.9 cm) apart is on the upper range of a personal distance.
