Is COVID-19 the end of the handshake, as we know it?

Apr 13, 2020

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused many people to accept a "new normal" and change behaviors. One example has been the need to alter how we greet each other. As part of social distancing, health experts have recommended that people to avoid shaking hands, since hands tend to carry a lot of germs.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, a leading infectious diseases expert and director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, says we've got to break that custom, even after the COVID-19 pandemic. Doing away with handshakes would not only prevent COVID-19, but most likely help to prevent influenza.

Dr. Gregory Poland, an infectious diseases expert and director of the Mayo Clinic Vaccine Research Group, says Dr. Fauci is absolutely correct. In fact, it's a topic Dr. Poland has been talking about for years.
