A sign a child made in a Toronto neighbourhood to remind people of what physical distancing in. The child expresses concern for his community, the world, and for his baby sister especially. The sign reads "Because of Covid-19 6 ft apart at all time's./ And wash your hands every one has [illegible]/ we need our neighborhood
I have a Baby sister so I want every one to be [illegible] to be safe and the world." It features two drawings, one of a boy and girl 2 "feet" (semicircles) apart with an x over their heads and another with a boy and a girl 6 "feet" (semicircles) apart with a check over their heads. While it was likely a serious project for the creator, the friend who took the picture because she was amused by drawing when she saw it on a walk around her neighbourhood.
