    2 metres won't actually do a thing. For an infectious cough. 6 metres is the safe distance. 8 metres if it is a sneeze. That isn't taking into account wind etc.

    It is sad that Karnataka has recorded a 13th. victim due to COVID-19. There is no let down in any state so far and hence take the maximum precaution. Don't take this deadly disease for granted as still nobody is out of danger. STAY HOME and BE SAFE as that is the best medicine so far.
