Fellow Los Angeles natives such as Kaia Gerber and Ashley Benson have adopted social distancing amid the outbreak.
Social distancing, advised by WHO, involves maintaining at least 1 metre (3 feet) distance between yourself and anyone who coughs or sneezes, as the small liquid droplets sprayed could contain the virus.
The measure also includes staying at home if you have a cough or fever even if you have not travelled and ‘cocooning’ elderly people suspected of being more vulnerable to the infection.
Chord’s appearance comes after he enjoyed a sun-soaked break with his former girlfriend, actress Emma, following the end of their two-year romance in May 2012.
