Early this year, a new coronavirus (新冠狀病毒) caused the rapid spread of the Coronavirus

Disease 2019 (COVID-19). Many countries began practicing “social distancing” to prevent
infection spread by increasing the space between people. All over the world, social distancing
brought about changes in people’s ways of living, learning, and working.

Lifestyle changes due to social distancing affected almost everyone. People avoided
crowded places and unnecessary traveling. In Italy, for example, church leaders spoke to
followers online. Elsewhere, online shopping in Taiwan and home entertainment in China

rose significantly in February.

Social distancing also had an effect on learning. In Australia, when schools were still
open, teachers tried not to let students mix in common areas that included the classroom,
café and library. As the crisis worsened, schools closed one after another. By early April,

over 90% of the world’s students were not attending school. In some places, such as Italy
and Hong Kong, students turned to learning from home through Internet connection.

To lower the risk of infection, companies put distance between employees in the

workplace and told sick employees to stay home. Offices were generally flexible in the time
and place of work. Furthermore, to keep the workplace safe, the United States passed a law

to provide paid sick leave for all employees. This was to make sure that workers who fell ill
with the coronavirus would stay home without fear of losing their income.

In the fight against the coronavirus, people stayed apart to stay healthy. However, they
all stayed connected to feel a sense of togetherness.
