Touching Thin Socks

Question

A woman who touched thin socks (40 denier, etc.), is it considered touching covered areas regarding hand cleanliness, when touching below the knee and above the knee?

Answer

Shalom Rav,

It is not considered touching a covered area, as it is not a place of perspiration.
