Limitations:
This project does not take into account the camera perspective.
It does not leverage a proper camera calibration (Distances are not measure accurate).

Importance:
Social distancing is deliberately increasing the physical space between people to avoid spreading illness. Staying at least six feet away from other people lessens your chances of contracting COVID-19. We can use OpenCV and YOLO to monitor/analyze whether people are maintaining social distancing or not. It could be used for just keeping a track whether people are maintaining social distancing.

Hi... As I have said in the limitations, this project does not take into consideration actual perspective. So, the 60 is just a rough estimate for safe estimate for this camera angle.
