What is social distancing?
Social distancing are measures to increase distance between individuals, such as staying home when ill unless seeking medical care, avoiding large gatherings, telecommuting, and school closures. Within the workplace, social distancing measures could take the form of: guidelines modifying the frequency and type of face-to-face employee encounters (e.g., placing moratoriums on handshaking, substituting teleconferences for face-to-face meetings, staggering breaks, posting infection control guidelines); policies establishing flexible work hours or worksites, (e.g., telecommuting); and promoting social distancing between employees and customers so as to maintain a three-feet spatial separation between individuals.
