Abstrakt: The right to visit our next of kin and friends has been challenged since the beginning of COVID epidemic. In Health and social care services, the visits’ limitation has and continues to have consequences on the persons under care, their relatives and the care workers. This article aims to review the investigations of the Normandy Ethical Support Unit who has set up at the beginning of the COVID crisis, in response to the referrals from the fields in connection with the visits’ restrictions. This crisis served as a reminder of the importance of physical contact in maintaining social interactions. It also drew collective attention to the implementation of digital tools to counterbalance geographical distance, lack of time, and more broadly the evolution of society. The deployment of the digital tool raises many ethical questions and must be considered without neglecting physical contact.
