Avoiding "dirty" cash

Another important recommendation is to use contactless transactions

rather than cash. Notes and coins are handled many times and Covid-19 or

other virus can live on notes and coins for several days.

China has now setup continuous sterilisation of notes.

Use “Tap and Go” card payments, to avoid handling cash for protection of

yourself and checkout operators. Some businesses are now accepting

electronic payments only, which is legal providing customers are advised

before the transaction.

When making Internet purchases eBay and Paypal can be used to provide

added security and protection. For more information click eBay-Paypal .
