Social distancing is practically a physical distance between two persons, prescribed to prevent person to person transmission of a disease. How effective will this measure be in a country with a population of 207 million and average household size of approximately 7 members?
The situation gets complicated when we realize that approximately 68% of the households have 2 or less rooms and more than half of the population lives with extended family. In such a situation, social distancing becomes a challenging issue. #PakistanFightsCorona #Pakistan
In countries like Pakistan, people live in clusters called families and approximately 50% of the population lives with extended family. Thus, home isolation is expected to cause incidence of family clusters and that should not surprise the public health experts. #COVID19Pakistan
