I was relieving another controller. He was getting off position to take the CIC position. I listen to him brief. I turned up the overhead lights. Before I sat down; two aircraft were flashing. I sat down. Turned one 40 degrees right and the other 30 degrees left. My recommendations are; even though COVID is a factor of why I was distant from the sector to give both controllers room and space; I will have to get closer to see the scope to see what is going on.
ATC Controller reported during a position change with another controller; two aircraft entered into an airborne conflict situation. The conflict was not immediately noticed because the ATC personnel were social distancing.
