In continuation of the awareness campaign launched by the Al-Khobar Association under the slogan “With Awareness”, to disseminate correct information about the Corona virus from its documented sources, as many citizens ask about the possibility of transmitting infection with the Corona virus through dealing with cash currencies?!. A question answered by the World Health Organization, in light of the rising numbers of infections and deaths from the Coronavirus around the world. The organization responded by warning that securities contaminated with the virus may transmit the infection and may contribute to the further spread of the virus in the world. The organization said that citizens everywhere should avoid using paper currencies and use payment methods that do not require touching. The organization stated earlier that the Corona virus may remain on banknotes for several days, which may increase the chance of infection with the virus. The organization advised citizens to wash hands well after dealing in securities to avoid the virus.

The Central Bank of China announced a decision to clean banknotes in circulation by placing them in quarantine, with the aim of limiting the spread of the virus.
