In addition to regular handwashing, one of the most effective ways to prevent the spread of COVID-19 is to limit close contact with other people. This is called social distancing, and in the context of the novel coronavirus outbreak, it refers to keeping six feet or more between yourself and others whenever possible.

In the workplace, this means limiting in-person gatherings whenever possible.

Team meetings and huddles still need to occur while keeping in mind social distancing. This might mean huddles via phone or team meetings in large spaces so everyone can be six feet apart from each other.

Limiting your close contact with others will help prevent the spread of COVID-19.
