If there’s one rule we should all be following to help prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus it’s social distancing. Staying away from people is the easiest way to prevent yourself or others from getting sick. It works, and we’ve seen the proof in the numbers of new cases in areas where people are actually sticking to the important guidelines.
