The City of Santa Ana explains what social distancing means

The Centers of Disease Control defines social distancing as “remaining out of congregate settings, avoiding mass gatherings and maintaining distance (approximately six feet) from others when possible.” Social distancing is used to slow the spread of diseases like COVID-19. It works by preventing the virus from moving between people by a sneeze or cough.

Social distance in this context is the same as physical distance, so there is no need to avoid talking to others on the phone, online, or even in person – just keep 6 feet of distance between you. For those of us who do not need to be in self-isolation, one way we can stop the virus from spreading is by keeping a safe distance from others.

For video updates from Mayor Miguel A. Pulido, the latest on City of Santa Ana services, and other resources and information about COVID-19, go to the City website at www.santa-ana.org/covid19.

Mayor Pulido encourages everyone to stay home as much as possible, avoid gathering in groups and stay 6 feet from others. And please wash and sanitize your hands!

Los Centros de Control de Enfermedades definen el distanciamiento social como “permanecer fuera de los lugares donde se congregan muchas personas, evitando reuniones en masa, y manteniendo la distancia (aproximadamente 6 pies) de otros cuando sea posible.” El distanciamiento social se usa para retrasar la propagación de enfermedades como el COVID-19. Funciona al evitar que el virus se mueva entre las personas por un estornudo o tos.

La distancia social en este contexto es la misma que la distancia física, por lo que no hay necesidad de evitar hablar con otras personas por teléfono, en línea, o incluso en persona – solo mantenga una distancia de seis pies entre usted. Para aquellos de nosotros que no necesitamos estar aislados, una forma de evitar que el virus se propague es mantener una distancia segura de los demás.

El Alcalde Pulido anima a todos a quedarse en casa tanto como sea posible, evitar reuniones en grupos, y mantenerse a 6 pies de distancia de los demás. ¡Y por favor, lávate y desinfecta tus manos!
