contact with other cfers

[MCPappy]

Hi everyone. I was just wondering what is the contact level for two cfers to be when arround eachother. I have heard that it is a few feet a part and you are ok but I am not really sure. They only other cfer I have had contact with is my brother and we obviously grew up together and dont really follow any type of rules. This is a type of situation where masks and gloves are not really an option, like during social settings at college. I figured no direct contact and staying a few feet apart when we talk would be ok but I wanted others suggestions too.

Thanks

Here's what the CFF says:

I try to stay 3 feet apart from other CFers. I always try to stay aware of their coughing also. If they are coughing more often then I stay farther away then 3 feet. The same goes for me, if I am coughing more often, then I stay away out of courtesy.

Also like Amy said just be aware of surfaces and things they could have coughed onto or spread their germs too.

My understandig is you need to be at least 3 feet apart.
