Why Social Distancing Is ImportantDue to pandemic , we are instructed to take social distancing . It means that we have to stay at least 6 feet away from others when possible , even if you - or they do not have any symptoms . It is not easy , but it is effective . However , there are still many people ignoring social distancing . I personally believe that social distancing is important for us .First , virus can spread from person to people . While we hear a lot about " person - to person spread , it's important to understand that a person can infect more than just one other person . In fact , on average , an infected individual spreads the new coronavirus to two to three other people . And , given the right conditions , an infected person can spread the virus to more than just three people . For instance , a CDC report analyzing several COVID - 19 cases traced back to a restaurant in Guangzhou , China found that a single individual infected four other people at the table , as well as at least one guest at each of the neighboring tables on either side , and potentially up to five at the neighboring tables . Second , a person can spread the virus without knowing it . A person infected with the virus can be contagious as early as three days before he or she begins showing symptoms . In addition , some people never develop symptoms , but are still able to spread the virus . In fact , the individual from the restaurant in Guangzhou , China mentioned above was pre - symptomatic when he or she sat down to eat lunch and inadvertently infected at least six other people . Third , social distancing can save all of many people . COVID - 19 can spread through coughing , sneezing , and close contact . By minimizing the amount of close contact we have with others , we reduce our chances of catching the virus and spreading it to our loved ones and within our community . From the reasons above , it is no doubt that social distancing is important for us .
