COVID-19 is particularly frustrating for those whose loved ones are in care facilities; safe distancing while wearing facemasks when visiting them is not the same as a good cuddle. Leave it to the French to find a way overcome such an emotional challenge, says the Association of Mature American Citizens.
At least one patient care facility there is using what it calls the “hug bubble” to allow visitors to hug and even kiss their confined family member.
They walk into an inflatable plastic tunnel where the resident is behind a hermetically sealed plastic sheet, put their arms through built in plastic sleeves and embrace.
They are even able to safely give each other kisses.
