While there will be variation across organizations, most clinical settings will require physical distancing.

Wherever possible, you should keep at least 2 meters (6 feet) away from others, including your colleagues and classmates. This may feel strange, as these are the people that you are used to working with, however, it will help to promote your safety and the safety of your patients.

 

The risk of transmitting COVID-19 is not isolated to patient care areas.
