the close approach is like 13+ LD (lunar distances)
so basically safe for now
note
The term LD (Lunar Distance) refers to the average distance between the Earth and Moon. For data reported on this site (JPL NEO), we use a mean semimajor axis for the moon of 384400 km (~.002570 au) to define one LD.
you can go here to see the close approach data for this object
The closest approaches are as follows, note that they never get closer than about 4 LD
384400 km = 1LD = ~.002570 au
