The network node includes processing circuitry configured to determine a location of each wireless device (WD) of a plurality of WDs and determine the PDM based at least in part on the location of each WD of a subset of WDs of the plurality of WDs and a predetermined threshold, the location of each of WD of the subset of WDs being within a predefined area. Also, a WD and a method for the WD is provided. The WD includes at least a radio interface configured at least to receive a first message including physical distancing information based at least on the transmitted wireless signal.
