Will a Hugging Station Be the Next COVID ‘New Normal’?

A Nebraska family desperate to give their grandparents hugs during personal visits has created a plastic-layered contraption that allows them to reach through sheets of plastic and give each other a hug.

Huggers also put on long plastic livestock gloves before they get and give their hugs. While the family’s hug reunion has become a Twitter sensation, numerous videos of variations of the “hugging station” have popped up on the internet since May.
