Seeing yourself in flat mirror

So I know that if a person of height H wants to see his entire body in a flat mirror, the minimum height of the mirror needed is 0.5H.
My question is, what will then be the minimum and maximum distance the person need to be from the mirror in order to see his entire body in the mirror?
My guess is that there will be no maximum distance from the mirror, but there will be some sort of minimum distance from the mirror, because I figured that once the person is so close to the mirror that he's almost touching the mirror, only half of his body can be viewed.

The distance is irrelevant - it only depends on the height of the mirror.

The distance only effects the distance of your virtual image.

But if the person is at distance 0 from the mirror, wouldn't only half of his body be viewable in the mirror?

Well you can't be in the mirror.

The distance has to be greater than 0, and then you can see the full person.

Try it.
