What is social distancing and why does it matter?
During this critical time where our encounters and interactions with each other are being closely monitored to help keep us safe and stop the spread of the deadly Covid19 virus, something as simple staying home can make all the difference to so many people. A better description of social distancing is avoiding nonessential travel. This could mean going out to eat at restaurants, out to bars, visiting your gym and even going to work. The latest updates from the government have recommended not gathering in groups larger than 10 people until the end of April. Dr. Anthony Fauci, our nation’s leading infectious disease expert, is instructing that we hold strong on the quarantine and social distancing efforts. That is our safest and most effective way to not only keep ourselves healthy but also our loved ones that we live with. Be patient and try your best to stay healthy and make good health choices, right now is crucial. On a local level, here in San Antonio, most businesses have been ordered to shut down to help keep our city safe. While no one knows exactly how long we will be “social distancing”, the better we adhere to the guidance of our government and medical professionals, we have a better chance of getting through this as quickly and safely as possible. Social distancing matters to everyone and it starts with you.
