The Government of Canada is requiring everyone to participate in social or physical distancing. Social distancing means minimizing your close contact with others by changing your daily routines. This means:^[1]

• avoiding crowded places and gatherings (other than immediate family)
• avoiding common greetings, such as handshakes
• limiting contact with people at higher risk (e.g. older adults and those in poor health)
• keeping a distance of at least 2 metres (approximately 2 arms lengths or the length of a hockey stick) from others, as much as possible
