COVID-19 Safety Moment Why social distancing matters? When infected people cough or sneeze, they produce respiratory droplets that can be microscopic. If those droplets touch another person’s mouth or nose, the virus can enter that person’s respiratory system, exposing them to the virus. People may even be contagious before they exhibit any symptoms. One of the most effective ways to slow the spread of COVID-19 is social distancing. That means you should avoid crowds and put distance between yourself and other people when possible. 3
