Chosen Question: Why are wearing masks and social distancing considered
effective in preventing the spread of COVID-19?
Answer:
At least 310M confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the world, the virus can be
transmitted by droplets or through physical contact. Wearing masks in public
indoor places is a must, in areas with substantial or high transmission of the
virus. So we need to follow the safety procedures to avoid getting the virus such
as wearing face mask, because when we are coughing and sneezing it prevents
the droplets to transmit to one another. Social and physical distancing measures
aim to slow the spread of disease by stopping chains of transmission of COVID-
19 and preventing new ones from appearing. These measures secure physical
distance between people (of at least one meter or more), and reduce contact
with contaminated surfaces. The Government and high officials should always
advised people to wear mask and always do the social distancing on outdoors or
indoors, people should also follow the rules and regulations to avoid spreading
the virus.
