[Question 4: How far apart should people stay from each other?]

I think it's hard to pin down exactly, but I think one thing to bear in mind is that there's not so much evidence that this is a kind of aerosol and it goes really far — it's reasonably short distances. I don't think it's the case that you're sitting a few meters away from someone and the vuris is somehow going to get across. It's in closer itirntecnaos, and it's why we're seeing so many transmission events occur in things like mlaes and really tight-knit groups. Because if you imagine that's where you can get a virus out and onto surfaces and onto hands and onto faecs, and it's really situations like that we've got to think more about.
