undistanced
Kept close together
Undistanced describes people or things that have not been separated by distance—either physical or social.
The term gained currency during the COVID-19 pandemic to describe gatherings where people failed to maintain recommended spacing: The photos showed undistanced crowds at the concert.
It can also mean not outpaced or left behind in competition: She remained undistanced by her rivals throughout the race.
