"Social distancing" is a term that has been used since the coronavirus outbreak in the United States that means staying at least 6 feet (approximately 1.8 meters) away from other people to avoid spreading or contracting the virus. It is also used to describe isolating yourself and avoiding crowds for the same purposes.
