Like any other surface that large numbers of people come into contact with, notes can carry bacteria or viruses. However, the risk posed by handling a polymer note is no greater than touching any other common surface, such as handrails, doorknobs or credit cards.
It is therefore important to think about all other money related surfaces you come into contact with which may have the virus on them. Follow a good hygiene procedure, such as sanitising hand wipes and hand washing, after handling any money.
