As the coronavirus spreads into more and more communities, public health officials are placing responsibility on individuals to help slow the pandemic (流行病). Social distancing is the best way to do it. Social distancing is a tool public health officials recommend to slow the spread of a disease that is being passed from person to person. Simply, it means that people stay far enough away from each other so that the coronavirus cannot spread from one person to another. Social distancing also means not touching other people, and that includes handshakes. Physical touch is the most likely way a person will catch the coronavirus and the easiest way to spread it. Remember, keep that 6-foot distance and don?t touch. Social distancing can never prevent 100% of transmissions, but by following these simple rules, individuals can play a critical role in slowing the spread of the coronavirus. If done correctly and on a large scale, social distancing breaks or slows the chain of transmission from person to person. People can spread the coronavirus for at least five days before they show symptoms. Social distancing limits the number of people an infected person comes into contact with―and potentially spreads the virus to―before they even realize they have the coronavirus. At the moment, it?s the only tool available to fight the spread of the coronavirus. Experts estimate that a vaccine is 12 to 18 months away. For now, there are no drugs available that can slow down a coronavirus infection. Without a way to make people less contagious or make them better once they fall sick, the only effective tactic is making sure hospital-level care is available to those who need it. The way to do that is to slow or stop the spread of the virus and decrease the number of cases at any one time. Everyone must practise social distancing in order to prevent a tidal wave of cases. If the public as a whole takes social distancing seriously, overwhelming the medical system could be avoided. 1 1. What do public health officials advise people to do? A.
