8月5日，在巴西聖保羅的「美好生活安養院」，護士Adriana Silva da Costa Souza擁抱著85歲的Rosa Luzia Lunardi。

這是Rosa五個月來第一次被擁抱。由於COVID-19疫情，3月開始全國各地安養院禁止探訪，上百萬名巴西人因此無法探望年長親人。看護也被下令盡量與被照護者減少肢體接觸。而美好生活安養院的一項簡單發明——「擁抱簾」讓人們能再度擁抱彼此。巴西總統波索納洛不理會疫情的嚴重程度及其帶來的威脅。2020年巴西成為世界疫情最慘重的國家之一，約770萬人染疫，19.5萬人死亡。

Rosa Luzia Lunardi (85) is embraced by nurse Adriana Silva da Costa Souza, at Viva Bem care home, São Paulo, Brazil, on 5 August.

This was the first hug Rosa had received in five months. In March, care homes across the country had closed their doors to all visitors as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, preventing millions of Brazilians from visiting their elderly relatives. Carers were ordered to keep physical contact with the vulnerable to an absolute minimum. At Viva Bem, a simple invention, ‘The Hug Curtain', allowed people to hug each other once again. Brazilian president, Jair Bolsonaro, dismissed claims about the severity of the pandemic and the danger posed by the virus. Brazil ended 2020 with one of the worst records globally in dealing with the virus, with some 7.7 million reported cases and 195,000 deaths.
