This article presents the results of a cross-sectional, quantitative study using the snowball sampling technique to analyze a sample in Brazil as part of an international research carried out in partnership with Red Interdisciplinar de Psicogerontología in seven more Latin American countries, from May to June of 2020. It presents the profile of a group of elderly people, of high social status, and their answers on how they keep themselves to physical distancing. Although the group does not represent the majority of the Brazilian elderly population, it is believed that it is important to know the various snippets from the countless old ages existing in their various social insertions
