Amid the Coronavirus outbreak, Italy has been one of the most affected countries with one of the main methods highlighted being Social Distancing which Fabio Fognini has got involved in.
In addition, Medical experts gave the reasoning for this method: “If you look at the normal distance between two beds in a hospital ward it will be three feet. Similarly the distance between two seats in the first class; on an airline is three feet."
"Ever wondered why? That’s the safe distance to maintain during respiratory illness. This is the distance to be maintained for anyone; who has a cold, cough or sneeze; or some form of visible respiratory distress."
As a result of this, the likes of Fognini and Simone Bolleli have taken part in a campaign; calling for Italians to do the same called #Distantimauniti; with an example of this below:
