Banknotes do not transfer Coronavirus faster than the other ways

The Central Bank denied that banknotes are a way to transmit the new Coronavirus infection (Covid-19) more than others, but like any other plastic, metal, or wooden surfaces, calling on the users of banknotes to practice the same precautionary measures that apply on other surfaces.

The Central Bank told local news that bank notes can be like any other surface (plastic, metal, wood), a means of transmission of the new Coronavirus.

It explained: «Until today, no study by an official, reliable body working in the field of printing or dealing in banknotes has proven that the new Coronavirus (Covid-19) is transmitted faster through banknotes, compared to anything else that has dry surface.

The central bank advised all banknotes to exercise the same precautionary measures that apply to other surfaces, such as washing hands with soap, or using antiseptics.

It added, "We encourage customers to use electronic banking channels, which in turn reduces the need to use banknotes, and to visit banks and ATMs."

Central Bank pointed out that it directed banks to sterilize their ATMs periodically, and to provide hand-sterilizing material for dealers besides those machines.
