Based on the importance of physical contact for different cultures, this study aims to discuss this importance in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. It also aims to seek information on customs, forms of compliance, affective exchanges in different cultures, discover how social isolation is being faced in other countries and associate literature with the researched daily life. Through questionnaires with residents of other countries, followed by an analysis of qualitative data, the research seeks results that explain and discuss the importance of physical contact in other cultures, considering the possible impacts on social distancing. The study is supported by theorists such as Lévi-Strauss, Lins Ribeiro, Muniz Sodré, Clifford Geertz. The conclusion reached by the research is in line with the theme, showing that each culture is being impacted according to its experiences and peculiarities.
