Why Is Everyone Being Asked To Practice Physical Distancing
- When someone with COVID-19 coughs or sneezes the small droplets from their nose or mouth can travel 1.5 to 2 meters.
- The virus spreads very quickly from one person to another
- People can get infected if they breathe in these droplets, or the droplets land on their eyes, nose, or mouth.
- Although people who are sick with COVID-19 are the most infectious, it is possible that some people may spread the virus before they start to feel unwell.
- Physical Distancing is one way to help slow the spread of viruses and can help protect the crew and guests of getting sick from COVID-19.
