FAQs About COVID-19



How do I ensure clothes and bedlinen don’t spread COVID-19?

Don’t carry dirty linen or clothes against your body. Wash them in hot water with laundry detergent or soap. If available, add bleach and follow the directions on the package. Machine dry on a high temperature or dry in direct sunlight.
 
 

How can I grocery shop safely in the time of COVID-19?

When grocery shopping, keep at least 1-metre distance from others and avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth. If possible, sanitize the handles of shopping trolley or baskets before shopping. Once home, wash your hands thoroughly and also after handling and storing your purchased products.
 
 


Can COVID-19 be spread through coins and banknotes?
 
There is currently no evidence to confirm or disapprove that COVID-19 virus can be transmitted through coins or banknotes. However, respiratory droplets expelled from an infected person can contaminate and persist on surfaces. Wash your hands regularly and thoroughly after touching any frequently-touched surface or object, including coins or banknotes. Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth, if your hands are not cleaned.
