The document discusses the differences between physical distancing, isolation, and quarantine as methods to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Physical distancing should be practiced by all and includes avoiding crowds and maintaining distance from others. Isolation separates sick individuals to prevent spreading the virus, while quarantine separates and restricts those exposed to a disease to see if they become ill.
2. Social distancing should be practiced by
everyone, whether or not exposed to the
virus.
This broad set of measures includes avoiding
hand shakes, crowds, staying at least 2 meters
(6 feet) away from people, and, most
importantly, staying at home if you feel sick.

keep the infected away from
healthy people in order to stop the
spread of the virus.
