In times like these, where nations have come to a standstill and World Health Organisation states that the coronavirus may futher spread through banknotes, because Covoid -19 may cling to its surface for days.

What do we do now? Should we not buy our groceries? This is where Google Pay and online payments come into play. Let’s do most of our money transactions on Google Pay, Paytm, PayPal etc etc. Most of our stores have these facilities. Stores which do not provide these facilities of GooglePay, Paytm etc should provide it soon enough to keep themselves and their customers safe. I know this will not be possible in all the places at all times, but wherever and whenever possible let’s avoid handling cash(bank notes).

In some circumstances, were cash transactions cannot be avoided wash your hands or use sanitiser immediately after handling cash. Do whatever it takes to keep yourself and your loved ones safe and protected.

Our Government and Medical research organisations cannot fight Covoid-19 alone. In times like these, we need to be together and do our part.
