The feasibility of physical-distancing interventions during the COVID-19 pandemic implicitly relied on structural properties of physical space. We show that minimum-distance policies (usually formulated as “individuals must remain at least δ metres apart”) require not only the Hausdorff property but a compatible metric structure that supports uniform separation with a positive lower bound. Using results from metric topology, we prove that the existence of disjoint open neighbourhoods is necessar...
