So about intimacy

I think human contact or general contact is important. When we hug, oxytocin is released which makes us happy. Happyness is always good.
I hugged and kissed my dad a lot simply because at some point I know I couldnt do it anymore.
Of course during covid time it got a little bit harder. But hugging is still ok and kisses with your partner at home too. French kisses are a good work up for the immune system. A lot of bacteria is exchanged then... might be tricky when you are severely immunocompromised (but then you are most likely in isolation).
I would say contact is ok as long as this person is healthy and has no cold etc
