With many instructions put in place by the government, it is very important for individuals to take preventive measures themselves as well. Several countries have put in place many different restrictions and rules to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and the 1.5metres distance rule is one of them.
When two individuals converse, it is essential that the distance between them is at least 1.5 meters. This distance is regarded as the safe zone, which helps in preventing the spread of COVID-19, given that individuals use face masks at all times. It is also advised that there must not be a conversation of more than 15 minutes between two individuals outdoors.
Following all guidelines and measures would help in containing the virus, and thus, everyone should help one another in this time of need.
