It means if you are not at home isolated and you have to go out for essentials then make sure you are 6 feet from any one person at all times. That is what self distanceing means. Our Premier and Dr. Strang are doing a fantastic job. Keep up the great work and do not open our borders until this virus has gone or a vaccine is discovered. Amen
