A social bubble is a self-contained social unit encompassing several households. It helps keep people safe from the virus because it limits outside contacts; if a member does become infected, you can isolate the bubble without shutting down the rest of society. It will only be as reliable as its members are compliant and loyal, but, in theory, at least, it is a safe way to both ease the burden of isolation and greatly simplify the demands of contact tracing in the event of an outbreak. 3, record 1, English, - social%20bubble

A bubble is formed by people not necessarily from the same household who agree to create a group in which physical distancing measures are not mandatory. The number of people allowed in a bubble can vary from one place to another. However, a bubble is a closed group; that is, once the bubble is formed, its members cannot change and they cannot be part of another bubble. 2, record 2, English, - bubble

Une bulle est formée par des personnes ne résidant pas nécessairement à la même adresse qui acceptent de créer un groupe où les mesures de distanciation physique ne sont pas obligatoires. Le nombre de personnes pouvant faire partie d'une bulle peut varier d'un endroit à l'autre. Toutefois, une bulle est un groupe fermé; c'est-à-dire qu'une fois la bulle formée, ses membres ne peuvent changer et ils ne peuvent pas faire partie d'une autre bulle. 2, record 2, French, - bulle
