The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended against any gatherings of 50 or more people over the next eight weeks, in an effort to contain the coronavirus pandemic.

Many schools, libraries, universities, places of worship, and sporting and cultural institutions have also shut down for the next few weeks.

These measures are an attempt to enforce distance between people, a proven way to slow pandemics.

Experts have also been urging people to practice voluntary “social distancing.” And term is now trending all over Social Media.

Sharing is Caring. Let us do our part and fight Covid-19.
