Publisher's Synopsis
Social distancing or physical distancing is an intervention that requires humans to avoid physical proximity and contact with other human beings. The theory behind social distancing is that the reduction of probability of uninfected people getting in physical contact with infected ones will reduce overall infection rates over time and eventually help to eliminate the pathogen that is causing the disease. The book explores the implications and future of social distancing as the world slowly returns to something of normality. This book also explores the various aspects of social distancing, including its justifications, modalities, and consequences.
