Abstract

Social distancing is one kind of preventative measure to reduce the spread of COVID-19. COVID-19 transmits mainly from one person to another during close contact for a prolonged period. Different types of preventive measures like thermal screening, social distancing, hand sanitization, office sanitization, building sanitization etc. are taken by an organization for smooth functioning of the organization. Implementation of social distancing in the organization is really a challenging task. Some work is done by the group of people and some work may be done by the individual. In some cases symptom of COVID-19 is shown but it in some cases its symptoms are not shown. Recent studies indicate that people who are infected but do not have symptoms likely also play a role in the spread of COVID-19. Social distancing helps the limit opportunities to come in contact with infected person and contaminated surface in an organization. The challenging task is taking decision in implementing social distance among employee in the organization. Organization may use different types of sampling methods to check the performance of employee or organization after introducing social distancing in its institution. In the present paper the authors will try to explain the importance of social distancing in mathematical way to combat COVID-19 transmission.
