China Is Disinfecting Cash Due to Coronavirus, But Can Money Make You Sick?
So, unless you’re licking your money or putting your hands in your mouth after handling cash that’s given to you by someone with the cold or flu, it’s unlikely to make you sick.
In the case of coronavirus, cleaning money is “not substantially going to change the impact of how the virus is spread,” Dr. Adalja says. “It’s not people exchanging money that’s.” The same is also true for the flu and common cold, which are much more common in the U.S., Dr. Adalja says. “Money changing hands is not the main way these illnesses spread,” he says.
Coronaviruses are usually spread from an infected person to others through the air via droplets that are released when they cough or sneeze,. Those droplets are then breathed in by others, infecting them in the process. These illnesses can also be spread through close contact, such as touching or shaking hands, or by touching a surface that was contaminated with the virus and then touching your mouth, nose, or eyes before youOf course, money is still dirty.
