By now, you know the phrase "social distancing' as well as you know your own name. But how does it help us slow the spread of COVID-19?
When you choose to socially isolate, you are playing an incredibly important role in helping to overcome the spread.
In this video, I explain the three essential benefits that your family's social isolations offers:
1) Protecting your family against exposure to the virus.
In my last video on social distancing, [ Ссылка ],
I explain that the most dangerous carriers of COVD-19 are those with no symptoms yet, who are still out in public touching surfaces and mingling with others.
2) Inhibiting the spread of the disease.
If any of your family members are (unknowingly) infected, you are not spreading the virus outside your home.
3) More specific identification of others exposed to the virus
By limiting your exposure to outsiders, there are fewer people you may have exposed to the virus; it also makes it easier to reach out to these people and alert them that they are exposed and should immediately self-isolate for 14 days.
Finally, we have a finite number of hospital beds, infection control products, medications and clinicians who can optimally treat patients with coronavirus.
When your family stays safe through social distancing, you are freeing up services and supplies for those who have been diagnosed.
