Fully stretch out your arm. When you are about six feet * away from someone, their face fits into your hand roughly like this:**

An informational drawing made to help with social distancing, the drawing shows what a person's face would look like if the viewer were standing six feet away, holding their arm out, and looking at the persons face through their thumb and forefinger. From the artist, Mona Chalabi: "I know this is a bit dumb but I was speaking to my friend in France last night and when I said that the advice here is to stand 6 feet apart, she asked 'how much is that in meters?' so I came up with this. I also wanted to make an image that’s informative but not scary (right now, it feels like it’s hard to separate out those two). Finally, I wanted to figure out if people in the line at the supermarket really are standing too close to me. They are."
