Social distancing is on everyone's minds as countries across the globe look for ways to fight the coronavirus pandemic.
This tactic aims at reducing the spread of the deadly disease as much as possible and should be practised everywhere, even at a liquor store. And locals in Kerala are showing us how it's done.
At this liquor shop in Kerala's Kannur district people were seen diligently following it. People standing at a safe distance from each other and at a time of crisis that we are in, it's commendable to see people following rules.
Social distancing is described by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as "remaining out of congregate settings, avoiding mass gatherings, and maintaining distance (approximately 6 feet or 2 meters) from others when possible."

The World Health Organization urges the public to leave at least three feet, or 1.5 metres between yourself and anyone who is coughing or sneezing.
When it comes to steps taken to contain the spread of COVID-19, Kerala is certainly setting an example to follow. More recently, a viral video showed commuters sanitising their hands soon after they get off a bus.
How decentralised health edu works? See commuters washing their hands after getting down from a bus in #Kerala's Calicut. Bcoz of Kerala govt's #BreakTheChain campaign, grassroot orgs have installed hand wash/sanitisers across public places like mofussil bus stops. #KeralaModel pic.twitter.com/VwrZsRjDpG
