What's two metres?

Slowing down the spread of COVID-19 is vital for protecting our communities.

Physical distancing is the best way to slow the virus down.  We’ve heard time and time again to stay two metres away from people not of our own household.  But, you may be wondering how far is two metres?

To raise awareness of physical distancing and the two metres distance, today we’re launching a social media campaign called #2metresis.  Through images and videos, we’re comparing everyday objects to two metres.

You can get involved by coming up with your images of what two metres is and post these on your social media channels including #2metresis in the text.  The more we spread the word about how far two metres is more lives will be saved.
