“Although not mainstream throughout the United States, there are some areas where a cheek kiss is the standard polite greeting,” Musson explains.
“But if handshaking is out, cheek kissing is definitely out!” She advocates for air-kissing or for being straightforward and saying that you are making them equally safe by avoiding a cheek kiss.
