What's the correct way to say 'R0 with social distancing?'

That is to say, R0 in a hypothetical place that was always practicing social distancing?

Because as I understand it, R0 is used to calculate herd immunity, but a lot of people are curious about what the herd immunity numbers would look like if we continued to take measures such as 6ft/2m distancing and wearing masks (efficacy debated, I know) and face shields.
