Social distancing advice from astronauts, experts on isolation, during coronavirusBy Washington Post, adapted by Newsela staff

Astronauts spend a lot of time by themselves. They are away from family and friends.

Christina Koch is an astronaut. She went to stay on the space station. She came back to Earth in February. Her stay lasted 328 days.

Chris Hadfield was an astronaut, too. He stayed more than five months on the space station. He was there in 2012 and 2013. It feels like living in the basement of a large building, he said. They work each day with the same people. There is no way to leave. The only way to see family and friends is on video.

Now, a new illness is causing people to stay home. It is called the coronavirus. It is like the flu. Health officials have been encouraging social distancing. This means staying home. It also means staying away from other people. This will help slow the spread of the virus.
