Don't shake hands! Don't hug anyone! 1 order to slow the spread of COVID-19, we're advised to avoid physical contact (接触) as 2 as possible. Some of us have been 3 to more creative ways of greeting one another, such as a friendly wave from two meters away. We are not sure when this pandemic (流行病) will end. But 4 more people get their vaccines (疫苗), we may soon be able to get back to hugging, shaking hands ans kissing cheeks. But ... should we?
We are 5 from a young age that it is impolite not to shake hands when we meet people. But Ashley Peterson, a doctor in the United States, thinks we should be more careful about how we greet people. Not 6 likes to be hugged.
Peterson says now is the perfect time for parents to guide their kids in making 7 about how to greet people. The idea is not to 8 hugs and handshakes. If your kids want to hug others, they should. If they feel 9 about hugging, they can use other ways to greet people.
Anthony Fauci, a health educator, holds a stronger opinion. He thinks we should never shake hands again. "We've got to 10 that custom," he says. "That is really one of the major (主要的) ways to pass on an illness."
