English term or phrase: ... are in touching distance of each other
¿Cómo podría traducir en el siguiente ejemplo "are in touching distance of each other"?

Wet spaces contain two or more people (often large crowds) who are in touching distance of each other while dry spaces are individual spaces where no communication takes place with the outside world.

Gracias.
