World Health Organization expert Maria Van Kerch cautions that many people underestimate the importance of physical distance, which increases the risk of infection.

Wearing masks alone is not enough to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, Kerch said, adding that people should keep a safe distance from others.
“We see that people no longer adhere to physical distancing,” he told a WHO news conference. “Even if you are wearing a mask, you should try to maintain a physical distance of at least 1 meter and even more, if possible,” the expert warned.
The WHO has compiled a list of measures to limit the spread and transmission of the virus, the most important of which are: wearing masks, maintaining physical distance, and washing and sanitizing hands frequently.
