In an effort to control the spread of the Coronavirus, health experts are offering recommendations to help keep us more safe. One of the top priorities is Social Distancing.

What is it and why is it important? Social distancing helps slow the spread of disease. This means that instead of 100 people being sick all at once, with only 20 hospital beds available, medical resources can handle better an outbreak of 100 people over a period of 5 weeks, 20 people at a time.
