What is touching elbows together?

Touching elbows together is a friendly gesture that has gained popularity in recent times due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The elbow bump has become a substitute greeting for handshake or hug to maintain social distancing and reduce the risk of spreading the disease. It involves two people tapping or bumping their elbows together as a sign of greeting, farewell, or congratulations. Some cultures have embraced this gesture as a traditional greeting, while others consider it a new trend. It is advisable to wash your hands frequently and avoid contact with the face and eyes, even when using the elbow bump as a greeting.
