Social Distancing

by Heather DiLorenzo Williams

Overview

Are you ready to live in a world without handshakes or hugs from anyone outside your home? What about "going to school" via your laptop in your living room? Are you taking your dance class on an iPad? These are just some of the adjustments people have had to make in trying to stop the spread of COVID-19. But what are the best ways to enjoy our lives and interact with friends without socializing in person? Readers will explore how our social lives have changed since COVID-19 began, and how some of these changes may be around for a while.
