Global health authorities have advised people to use contactless payments instead of banknotes where possible in order to stop spreading the new coronavirus.
Health experts have previously warned that the virus can survive on inert surfaces long enough to infect new hosts, although the risk is believed to be lower than human-to-human contact.
But a spokesperson for the World Health Organisation (WHO) told the Telegraph on Monday that the virus can remain infectious on banknotes for several days.
The Bank of England has also acknowledged that banknotes ‘can carry bacteria or viruses’ and encourages shoppers to wash their hands after using them.

Use contaminated touch pads and screens instead.
True health officials are not sure the virus spreads that way, but we get your push for a cashless planet, WHO.
Well ain’t that just convenient as hell for the governments to roll out. /s
WHO= RUBBISH BS DEEP STATE!!!
Send all your bills to the government to protect your health!
Avoid breathing would work better....
come on now- licking credit cards is not the same as licking cash- there just is no comparison- cash all the way-
I am suspicious that avoiding contagion may not be the only motive in urging people to avoid cash.
We predicted this on another thread. Distance scanning. Like in self checkouts. Palm-Face. Eschatological
Last I heard, there are anti microbial and antiviral components in the formulation of the inks used in the printing of our bank notes.
i’m not very conspiracy minded but that sure triggers me
Yah we’ll just put this little mark in either your hand or forehead. See, no more dirty money to carry disease. It’s all for the children.
The Bible? What Don’t be superstitious. This is modern economics and technology coming together.
Oh you don’t want this mark? It’s totally necessary to be a fully functioning member of society. It’s the law you know.
The coronavirus only stays active on touch pads, screens, and credit cards an average of 2.9 days compared to 3 days with cash.
It’s settled science! ;-)
What about running our mail under ultraviolet?
Someone here said they thought one of the ways the flu of 1918 was spread was through the mail.
The thing about checking contacts is it works great with sexually transmitted diseases... But a virus that can spread by touching money, elevator buttons, or just sitting on the wrong subway car? The ‘checking contacts’ thing is a waste of time. Our teams are fighting the last major disease - AIDS...
Well that’s another way to get all people hooked up to a cashless World Order....cash will kill you!
exactly.
No problem, have enough pre corona cash to last a few years.
Nah...everybody send all your bills to me. I’ll clean and sanitize them and return them to you real quick. I promise.
They’ll be scheming to quarantine large blocks of the population around election time to invalidate a Trump victory.
Not sure if sarcasm or not.
