noncontact
Without physical contact
Noncontact describes activities or methods that don't involve physical touching.
A noncontact sport like volleyball keeps opponents separated by a net, unlike football or hockey.
Noncontact thermometers measure temperature from a distance.
The word often appears in rules distinguishing permissible from impermissible physical interaction: a noncontact foul in basketball.
