Social distancing is new for everyone. The goal of social distancing is that you do have as little contact as possible with anyone who lives outside of your immediate apartment/house. The goal is that by limiting contact with others, we are limiting the spread of disease. In the case of COVID-19, it is thought that people who do not have symptoms, but carry the virus, have played a significant role in spreading this. If we don't limit the spread of the virus, the projections show that hospitals will become quickly overwhelmed and more deaths will occur. Therefore, it is the responsibility of each individual to do their part in slowing the spread by following the guidelines. Do: Stay home as much as possible Wash your hands often and sanitize frequently touched areas. Go for a walk outside either alone with someone who shares your living space Talk with your friends and family often via your favorite telecommunication method Maintain a 6 feet distance from people that you don't live with Invite your friends to a Zoom room or Google hang out! Do with caution: Go to the store Play in the park Use public transportation/ride shares Get take out food from restaurants Don't Shake hands Go to your friend's house for a social visit Invite friends over Go to crowded places Share utensils/plates/toothbrushes/vape devices etc... with anyone You could be in a situation where you are practicing social distancing but your roommates are not. This can be very frustrating. Below is some advice on what to do in this situation. (Taken from The Guardian, "An Expert Guide to Social Distancing", Danielle Renwick, 3/16/20) Some students have expressed concern about how to get food during these difficult times. One thing to remember is that at this time, there is not a threat of food suppliers running out of food. Here are some general tips:
1. Think about meal planning. What do you like to eat? What can you make large quantities of that you can freeze? Try to plan for at least 2 weeks of food so you don't have to feel stressed about returning to the store. 2. For fruits and vegetables, some last longer than others. Try to choose fruits and vegetables that last longer. 3. Stock up on beans, grains, and frozen food if possible.

These times are thought to be early in the morning or later at night. Check store opening and closing times. Remember to use hand sanitizer or wipes frequently while you are shopping. Do not touch your phone or your face until you wash your hands. If you don't want to go to the store yourself, another option is to use online delivery services such as Fresh Direct or Instacart. |
