As we try to make our new routines the “new normal” we’re faced with new
challenges and uncertainties. However, in times like this, where the COVID-19 is
spreading like a wildfire, we must focus on what is in our control, that would help us
in contributing to the fight against Coronavirus and that is “Social Distancing.”
WHAT IS SOCIAL DISTANCING
AND WHY DO YOU NEED TO
MAINTAIN THAT 6 FEET
DISTANCE?
As the name implies, it means
avoiding close physical contact with
others to prevent being affected by
this highly infectious and
contagious disease “Coronavirus.”
Adhering to the guidelines set by the health experts as to how much distance is to be kept, it
is recommended that a six feet distance must be maintained because Coronavirus is
transmitted through respiratory droplets. These droplets emanate when a person sneezes
or coughs and can travel an average of six feet distance or less. Thus, keeping a six feet
distance or more will ensure safety from these droplets.
So, if you’re a business owner who wants to corroborate complete safety and prevention
from the disease at your workplace or during your trade shows and events than Modell

IT’S SIMPLE: KEEP YOUR DISTANCE!
The social/physical distancing rules edict that you must
avoid public gatherings and aim to keep 2 meters space
between you and others when you’re out in public.
Evade crowded places, stay at home as much as possible
and only go out if it is necessary, following all the
precautionary measures of wearing a mask, using hand
sanitizer, and avoid touching your face.
Wherefore, if you want to ensure maximum safety of your workers
and customers you're just a click away. Modell Printing is

with clients and an easy to access Hand Sanitization Station

and hygiene. These products are already being delivered to most of the offices all over
Canada, Europe, and the USA.
Canadian Medical Association Journal has also found that precautionary measures and
closing of schools, public places, public transport, and asking people to stay at home have
reduced the growth of COVID-19 cases by 30%.
However, while keeping that distance you don’t need to socially isolate yourselves, rather
stick together more than ever now and stay connected virtually for the time being.
WHAT DOES “FLATTENING THE CURVE” REALLY MEAN?
This info graphic shows 2 bell shaped curves in red and purple, the red curve shows the
number of patients without intervention and the purple curve shows number of the patients
with intervention. the dotted line across the center depicts the capacity of health care
systems and hospitals, if social distancing is practiced strictly, the curve will be flattened
which will allow hospitals to take in and discharge patients without being overwhelmed, as
a result, more people can have access to the care they need and thus fewer people will die.
The World Health Organization indicated that the healthcare system must have five beds
per thousand individuals in the face of this pandemic. As of 2018, Canada had an average of
2.5 beds per thousand people. This shows how important it is to flatten the curve and hence,
Modell Printing is playing its part with utmost dedication assuring and compelling people
to do the same.
Now the question is will the measures of social/physical distancing mitigate the COVID-19?
The answer is yes! Since there is a lack of a proper vaccine or definite treatment of
Coronavirus, the only way to stop the spread is by social distancing.
