(498) Word / distance

I often hear “distance” is mentioned in the Corona virus crisis.

・Nova Oxford Dictionary of English defines;
   distance / noun[C,U] the amount of space between two places or points;
　◯ We have some distance to go.

  There are few "distances" I saw these days.
1. Social distance

This sign says it all. Keep your face covered when you're in public and can't maintain social distance.

OUTSIDE WITH
NO MASK?

The Scottish government is considering if it is feasible for children to carry out physical distancing in schools once the lockdown is over. So how can you social distance in a school?

 It has published a new document outlining the basis of an exit strategy from the UK-wide lockdown that has been in place since 23 March.

A move away from the current restrictions would include the continuation of social distancing.
