Fiziksel mesafe bırakma


Definition from own experience or research:
Bir kişinin diğer insanlarla arasında fiziksel olarak ortalama 1,5 metre mesafe bırakması.

Example sentence(s):
  • Kız ve erkek üniversite öğrenicilerinin kendi cinsiyetlerinden ve karşı cinsiyetten kişilerle konuşurken aralarında ne kadar fiziksel mesafe bırakmayı tercih ettiği... - Sosyal psikoloji kitabı  
  • Ancak karşıdaki insanlarla hiç bir kültürel, siyasi ya da dinsel farklılıklar yokken sırf virüsten kaçınmak nedeniyle onlardan uzak durmak SOSYAL DEĞİL FİZİKSEL MESAFEDİR. - Ege Haber Ajansı  
  • Social distancing or physical distancing: What’s the difference and which is best? - Geisinger  

Explanation:
Sosyal mesafe ifadesi (her ne kadar kötü bir çeviri olsa da maalesef yerleşti) "Physical distance" ifadesinin karşılığı olarak kullanılıyor. Social distancing için fiziksel (ya da sosyal) mesafe bırakmak ifadesini kullanabiliriz. Hatta İngilizce kullanımında social distancing ile physical distancing eşanlamlı görülmesine rağmen (Wikipedia, social distancing maddesi) son zamanlarda physical distancing ifadesinin daha doğru olduğuna dair görüşler yükselmektedir.
