Handshakes will be out
Due to the coronavirus outbreak, one of the most visible changes was definitely avoiding handshakes.
“In this new era of the coronavirus and the practice of social distancing, there will undoubtedly be a cultural shift in the way we all greet one another,” explains Nesochi Okeke-Igbokwe, MD, an internist, and health expert.
“Shaking hands, high fives, hugs, and kisses are modes of greeting to be abandoned at this point. Social greetings may now entail a hand on the heart, a head nod, or pretty much any action that enables one to avoid direct touch or contact.”
