Given today's health pandemic and unsure of the health standing of FA Y after hearing multiple coughs throughout the trip; I opted to not sit in my assigned jumpseat sitting shoulder to shoulder with [FA Y]. Instead I occupied the first First Class seat during takeoff and landing.During this current health crisis where it is recommended we practice social distancing; I believe it will be helpful if the FAA/Company considered a FAs seating position during these times.
Flight Attendant opted to practice social distancing by sitting in a First Class passenger seat instead of the assigned jumpseat next to another Flight Attendant who was coughing.
