[Profile image of Megan with 6 foot distance measurements on both sides. Also indicated is the width of the full “6’ zone”, which consists of 6’ to her right, her width, and 6’ to her left. Her width is not explicitly indicated.]
[Overhead image of a person within a slightly elliptical outline at a distance of 6 feet in all directions. The “width” of the person pushes the ellipse longer in one dimension. The ellipse is again labeled “6’ zone”.]
