A broad consensus has emerged to practice social distancing to slow the spread of corona virus. Many gatherings large and small will be cancelled and altered for public health and safety. Jewish law supports actions like these, because the primary mitzvah is "live by them (these laws)." When life is threatened, this mitzvah, to live by them, becomes operational.
