Keeping a safe distance

• What is social distancing? 

• How to keep a safe distance from others?

• Why must I keep a safe distance between myself and other people? 

These were the questions brought up by the children when they were first introduced to the phrase “Social Distancing”. Shortly, everywhere, be it schools, shopping malls or supermarkets, tape markings are used on the floor to demarcate queues so that everyone can observe a safe distance with one another.

The children were taught by keeping a safe distance from others, we could prevent our droplets from landing on the person in front of or behind us. In a twinkling, the term “Social Distancing” has become the new normal for children!
