Corona virus or severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a virus that attacks the respiratory system. This disease caused by a viral infection is called COVID-19. Corona virus can cause disorders of the respiratory system, acute pneumonia, until death. This virus infection is called COVID-19 and was first discovered in the city of Wuhan, China, at the end of December 2019. This virus spread quickly and has spread to other regions in China and to several countries, including Indonesia

One of the steps in preventing and controlling this Corona virus infection is the government implementing Social Distance. Social distance is a series of measures to control non-pharmaceutical infections intended to stop or slow the spread of infectious diseases. The purpose of social restrictions is to reduce the possibility of contact between infected people and other people who are not infected, so as to minimize transmission of disease, morbidity, and especially, death by encouraging healthy people to limit visits to crowded places and direct contact with others. When applying social distance, a person is not allowed to shake hands and keep a distance of at least 1 meter when interacting with others, especially with people who are sick or at high risk of suffering from COVID-19.

Social distance are most effective when infection can be transmitted through splash contact or droplets (coughing or sneezing); direct physical contact, including sexual contact; indirect physical contact (for example by touching a contaminated surface or transmission through the air. Losses from social restrictions can be in the form of loneliness, reduced productivity, and loss of other benefits associated with human interaction.
