How much social distance?
Advice for everyone
- Follow good cough etiquette and good hand hygiene.
- You and your closest circle can be together as normal. Your closest circle includes those you live with and boy/girlfriends. People who live alone can also have two-three close contacts who they can be physically close to. They should be the same people over time.
- Keep 1 metre distance from others than your closest circle. Distance between faces is most important. If you stand back-to-back, or behind someone in a queue, there is less risk of transmission. If you are sitting next to each other there should be a metre from shoulder to shoulder. Avoid physical contact, including shaking hands and hugging.
- If you have respiratory tract symptoms you should stay at home and you should be tested.
- If the test result is negative, you can go back to work, school or childcare centre when you are in good general condition, even though you still may have residual symptoms.
