At this point, we’ve all heard about social distancing and its importance in slowing the spread of COVID-19. Social distancing includes maintaining a distance of at least six feet between yourself and others at all times, limiting group gatherings to less than ten people, working or going to school from home, and socializing with others virtually rather than in-person. Because COVID-19 primarily threatens older adults and those with preexisting health conditions, many adolescents and young adults may be wondering why they need to practice social distancing when their own health isn’t at risk. While young people may not be personally affected by this virus, it is still extremely important that they follow these guidelines.
