A member asked:
I wear mask in my office for the prevention of corona virus. does we need social distancing if we wear proper mask in the office ?

Yes: The regular mask you wear is only protecting others to some extent, distancing will protect you as well. Reducing time of close interaction would help as well. They are all imperfect methods, but together are slowing down transmission significantly.

Social distancing: If you work in an office with other people, than recommend both wearing a mask or face covering & social distancing. Currently I am doing mostly telemedicine. As a result, I often work in my office with the door closed without a mask. I am the only person in my office.
