socijalno distanciranje


Definition from poslovni.hr:
Socijalno distanciranje: Mjere kojima se želi postići da ljudi ne odlaze na mjesta s puno ljudi na kojima bi se virus mogao lakše širiti. U ovom slučaju, zdravstveni dužnosnici potiču ljude da rade od kuće, da se otkažu masovni događaji i održava razmak između ljudi od jednog do dva metra. Radikalna mjera je zatvaranje većine tvrtki i uvođenje obveznog boravka kod kuće, osim za neophodne izlaske kao što su nabava hrane i briga za rođake, premda šetnje ostaju dopuštene. Ako se te mjere poštuju, one mogu pridonijeti usporavanju širenja zaraze odnosno tzv. „izravnavanju krivulje“.

Example sentence(s):
  • Procjenjuje se da su stroge mjere socijalnog distanciranja za usporavanje i suzbijanje širenja COVID-19 u Europi dale rezultata i spriječile tisuće smrtnih slučajeva. - net.hr  
  • zdravstveni djelatnici su na radu u ustanovama dužni organizirati rad tako da bude osigurana što veća međusobna udaljenost radnika uz prakticiranje mjera socijalnog distanciranja (u odnosu na kolege i pacijente, ali u skladu s pravilima struke i zdravstvenog djelovanja) - hzjz.hr
