While distance zones are typically assumed to be based on cultural norms that have been passed down through the generations, the emergence of a health crisis like COVID-19 requires society to adjust what it deems to be an appropriate distance between people. The pandemic has seen public health officials recommend that people keep a 6-foot distance between themselves and others. Discussions even emerged about how to social distance from family members in the home (Fitzgerald 2020). The logistical challenges of maintaining a 6-foot distance come into stark focus when one considers close quarter environments like airplanes, classrooms, church pews, or elevators (Josephs 2020).
