CDC Tips for Social Distancing  Follow guidance from authorities where you live.  If you need to shop for food or medicine at the grocery store or pharmacy, stay at least 6 feet away from others.  Use mail-order for medications, if possible.  Consider a grocery delivery service.  Cover your mouth and nose with a cloth face cover when around others, including when you have to go out in public, for example to the grocery store.  Stay at least 6 feet between yourself and others, even when you wear a face covering.  Avoid large and small gatherings in private places and public spaces, such as a friend’s house, parks, restaurants, shops, or any other place.  If possible, avoid using any kind of public transportation, ridesharing, or taxis.

Stay connected while staying away. It is very important to stay in touch with friends and family that don’t live in your home. Call, video chat, or stay connected using social media. Everyone reacts differently to stressful situations and having to socially distance yourself from someone you love can be difficult.
