The 2-meter distance requirement for safety during the covid pandemic includes close contact with your partner. If either partner has tested positive for the virus or is experiencing symptoms such as fever, cough, or difficulty breathing, then it is important for the couple to also practice isolation measures. It is recommended to avoid kissing or talking within 2 meters to prevent the spread of the infection. If neither partner is experiencing symptoms or has tested positive, then there is no need to maintain distance within the household.
