The epidemic(疫情) changes our lives in many ways—the way we study, work, or even how we greet each other and celebrate holidays. Let’s take a look at the safer greeting ways.

No more kisses

Too many kisses are not good for now. France says that people should not kiss each other on the faces. Just looking into a person’s eyes can be a greeting.

Wink(眨眼) at others

In Italy, a woman makes a video. In her video, if you want to say hello to others, you can wink at them with one eye. It’s a cute way.

Pat(拍打) on the back

It’s usual to shake hands in Australia. But if you do this now, you may get ill. An officer says a pat on the back may be better.

Tap(轻敲) feet together

There is a popular way to greet others in Iran(伊朗). In a video, two Iranian men meet and tap their feet together. They wear masks and put their hands in their pockets. It looks like they are playing a fun game.

Now people around the world stop using the usual styles and try safer ways. We shall all work together to help stop the epidemic.
