Shaking hands and hugging
In the pandemic s early days, whether to shake hands was a topic of debate. Now, people mostly just don t. Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the US National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, strongly advised breaking with this age-old cultural norm - for good. As people meet more frequently, if you encounter someone who extends a hand, the germ factor may cause you to instinctually recoil. We re social people, Webber said. You (might) reach out and then you pull your hand back, and we tell people that s a natural feeling.
If in this moment you feel anxious, waving or bumping elbows instead is OK, Webber said. Let people know that you re still a little nervous, she added. By doing that, we ve made a connection and they (will) have empathy.
