What is social distancing and how can my workplace do that?

Social distancing means avoiding large gatherings and maintaining distance (at least 6 feet) from others when possible. Strategies that businesses could use include:

• Allowing flexible worksites (such as telework)
• Allowing flexible work hours (such as staggered shifts)
• Increasing physical space between employees at the worksite
• Increasing physical space between employees and customers (such as a drive-through and partitions)
• Implementing flexible meeting and travel options (such as postponing non-essential meetings or events)
• Delivering services remotely (e.g., phone, video, or web)
• Delivering products through curbside pick-up or delivery
