(CNN) -- The CDC recommends people stay about six feet apart to avoid spreading the novel coronavirus.

So how far it that?

As Leon County, Florida puts it, it's about the length of an alligator.

The county put out a fun visual aid for residents.

They note it should be a large alligator.

The distance is to avoid the spread of respiratory droplets from person to person.

Other ways to remember the minimum length of social distancing?

It's about the size of a sedan, a sofa, or for the metrically-minded, about two meters.
