distanciation sociale
La distanciation sociale est une stratégie qui consiste à éviter, dans la mesure du possible, les endroits bondés, les lieux de rassemblement ou les contacts étroits avec un groupe de personnes, car ces situations permettent aux virus de se propager facilement d'une personne à l'autre. Il est généralement possible de freiner la propagation d'une maladie en maintenant une distance d'un mètre (3 pieds) entre les gens, mais plus grande est la distance, plus efficace est la stratégie.
Example sentence:
Les mesures de distanciation sociale peuvent contribuer à réduire la transmission et aider les systèmes de santé à faire face
