1. PRE-READING: Beneath the title, the author has provided a cartoon. What specific information do we learn from the cartoon? What does that tell us to expect from the article as a whole?
2. Who is Elaine Swann, and what does she do? (Don’t Google it! Only an answer from the article will be marked correct.)

COVID-19 has dramatically changed the way we live our lives and interact with others. With the ongoing pandemic, many people are unsure of the proper etiquette when it comes to socializing and navigating daily activities. In this article, we will discuss six common COVID-19 conundrums and the appropriate etiquette for each situation.
One of the most important ways to stop the spread of COVID-19 is to wear a mask in public. When you are in a public place, especially indoors, you should wear a mask to protect others and yourself. It is important to wear the mask properly, covering both your nose and mouth. Remember that wearing a mask is not just about protecting yourself, but also about protecting those around you.
Social distancing is another critical component in preventing the spread of COVID-19. When in public, try to maintain a distance of at least six feet from others. Avoid crowded spaces and gatherings as much as possible. If you must be in a public place, try to choose a time when there are fewer people around.
Greeting others can be a challenge during the pandemic.
