To stop the spread of COVID-19, many countries are practicing social distancing (社交隔离). This means people should stay at home as much as possible, as well as stay at least 2 meters away from other people when in public, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Social distancing also refers to other ways of preventing the spread of the virus. These include studying online instead of going to school and canceling (取消) public activities.
Many countries have set strict rules for social distancing. In Australia, for example, people who meet indoors must follow the “one person per four square meters” rule. This means that if a room has an area of 40 square meters, there should be no more than ten people in the
room. In Singapore, people who don’t keep a distance of 1 meter in public areas may need to pay a fine of up to $10,000 (50,000 yuan) or up to six months in prison (监狱).
There are also some more creative rules. In Panama, for example, men and women must leave their homes on different days, two hours at a time. In some Colombian towns, people can only go outside at certain times based on (基于) the last number of their national ID number. For example, people with an ID number ending in 0, 7 or 4 can leave the house on Monday, while those with an ID number ending 1, 8 or 5 can go outside on Tuesday.
