Abstract

From the beginning, man has lived in groups, humans are social animals, and our biological, psychological, and social systems have evolved to thrive in communicating with peers. What is certain is that most of us are programmed, psychologically and biologically to socialize. The declaration of the COVID-19 pandemic by the WHO (World Health Organization) imposed several precautionary measures, such as quarantine, social distancing or, in some cases, total lockdown of a region or country. For the first time since World War II, humanity has had to seek to adapt to the new conditions and restrictions imposed by the authorities, all necessary to limit the spread of SARS-CoV-2. Background Covid-19: To prevent the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, it was recommended to practice social distancing, which means to keep at least 2 meters away from others. Furthermore, people who have been potentially exposed to coronavirus have to be isolated at home for at least 2 weeks. People are social beings, and social distance can impact their physical and psychological well-being. All our systems, including social, psychological, and biological, have developed in and around social groups and human interaction.
