What is it? Why are we doing it? How can we get through it?
KidsHealth describes social distancing as "puts space between people". When someone is infected with the virus, if they stay away from others, it can't be passed to anyone else. This way, fewer people will get sick at the same time and Doctors and hospitals are able to better treat others who need care.
Don't Forget! You Can Still Be Social! The official phrase is "social distancing," but it can help to think of it as "physical distancing" instead. We can still be social, just in different ways. Take advantage of social media and video apps to support each other, laugh together, and take care of each other until the virus is under control.
Be sure to watch with an adult in case you have any questions!
