Abstract: Let $N$ be a connected nonorientable surface with or without boundary and punctures, and $jcolonSightarrowN$ be the orientation double covering. It has previously been proved that the orientation double covering $j$ induces an embedding $iotacolonmathrmMod(N)$ $hookrightarrow$ $mathrmMod(S)$ with one exception. In this paper, we prove that this injective homomorphism $iota$ is a quasi-isometric embedding. The proof is based on the semihyperbolicity of $mathrmMod(S)$, which has already been established. We also prove that the embedding $mathrmMod(F^{\prime })hookrightarrowmathrmMod(F)$ induced by an inclusion of a pair of possibly nonorientable surfaces $F^{\prime }subsetF$ is a quasi-isometric embedding.
