Actually even the article in question says you are least likely to be infected by touching newspaper compared to any other source so basically if you are in such a situation that you can get infected by newspaper then you already would have been infected by some other source long ago.
Well I am washing my hands every time after touching any external object coming from outside so it does not make any difference to me either way.
Yes but that's the point.If someone forget to wash their hands inadvertently then chances of catching infection from newspaper will be still least compared to any other source or even breathing in the air outside.
If it can be transmitted via newspaper then it will also transmit via Currency. And people who use their tongue to count the currency will be infected first.
Exactly so washing hands is must & if you are washing hands 10 times a day without handling newspaper then washing 11 times is just as easy in my opinion.
No need for that,just touching your face/eyes/nose/mouth after touching currency note is enough then.
I don't care about winning argument for such serious issue,It is more of a personal choice based on currently available facts so if you want to be extra cautious then it is also good.
That is anyway recommended but again nothing much because you need to wash your hands anyway after coming to home because of touching the items at food/grocery vendor place so even if you give currency it is still the same.
Are you people getting newspaper ? From last 5 days the newspaper here is not available due to lockdown.
But since the past 2 days or so the cases haven't increased exponentially like in other countries.
Newspapers are easily available atleast here. We have curfew also here.
Yes bro, they are increasing in the range of 100- around 180 per day, that's a lot. But not comparable with countries which are not doing good.
If you haven't watch Chernobyl, do it asap. The number of cases are low because we haven't done enough tests and there is a shortage of test kits. Only those showing symptoms are being tested. One might be a carrier while being resistant to it and without any of the symptoms.
