10 Etiquette Rules to Follow When Visiting Your Friends

Keep the distance

“The problem arises when people start drinking and all of a sudden they’re closer, looking at photos on a phone and then, Oh, wait a minute, we’re not supposed to do this,” Schweitzer says.

“A lot of times the couples will move their chairs back a little bit and they’ll sit without a mask on, but they’re far enough away that it’s still safe,” Schweitzer says. “They may be ten feet away. While we’re listening to stories of people talking, my husband and I might put our masks on. It’s really personal comfort.”

So, it’s very important to wear a mask, wash your hands and keep your distance even though you are at your friend’s house. Sometimes they are reluctant to tell you directly to follow their hygiene rules in order to be safe.
