What does social distancing mean?
 
 
“Social distancing means that we don’t visit with those who live outside our homes, that we limit trips into public spaces as much as possible, and that we keep at least 6 feet from others at all times. Those who are doing this well are sending one member of the household to the grocery store or pharmacy no more than once a week.”
