That includes cash and all kinds of other surfaces that people normally touch. So certainly with the coronavirus, cash handling is a concern.\"\n\nSome businesses are refusing to accept currency, with while several countries have urged their citizens to stop using banknotes altogether.\n\nOpen Books, a non-profit bookstore in Chicago, sent an email to customers last week asking individuals not to use cash. A chain of diners in Washington State has also stopped accepting cash. And delivery services like Grubhub, Door Dash and others have instituted \"no contact\" deliveries, and have either stopped offering cash as a payment option or are actively discouraging it.\n\nEven the Federal Reserve has taken efforts to make sure the nation's money supply isn't contaminated. Banknotes that circulated in Europe and Asia are being quarantined for seven to 10 days as a \"precautionary measure,\" according to a Fed spokesperson.\n\nWhile cash does carry some risk of passing on the virus, it is smaller than other transmission routes. A scientific paper published early in the outbreak found the virus can live on cardboard for up to 24 hours and up to three days on plastic and stainless steel. The researchers, however, did not test whether it can live on banknote paper.\n\nMeanwhile, the mere presence of live virus particles on banknotes does not mean they are a health hazard, public health experts said. Virus particles are unlikely to return to the air, or aerosolize, once on a surface.\n\n\"It's not impossible that there might be traces of virus on dollar bill, but if you wash your hands it should provide adequate protections \u2014 you shouldn't need anything else,\" Julie Fischer, a professor at the Center for Global Health Science and Society at Georgetown University, said on C-SPAN.\n\nOther devices used to pay for items are just as likely to be vectors for disease transfer.

Iranians often have multiple debit cards but cash is widely used in small-scale transactions, like buying bread in bakeries or leaving a tip. Many people have started even being careful in how they hand over debit cards, as contactless payment methods haven't caught on there.\n\nIn the U.S., there is concern that going cash-free shuts out millions of Americans who lack bank accounts or access to financial services like credit cards.\n\n\"Not everyone has a bank account, and there are some very important equity issues if we start encouraging cashless transactions,\" said Dr. Danielle Ompad, an epidemiologist at New York University's School of Global Public Health.\n\n\"Some people don't have a choice, so to say, 'You should only use cashless transactions,' is not sensitive to their circumstances,\" she said.", "sentence2": "NEW YORK >> In a world suffering a pandemic, cash is no longer king.\n\nA growing number of businesses and individuals worldwide have stopped using banknotes in fear that physical currency, handled by tens of thousands of people over their useful life, could be a vector for the spreading coronavirus.\n\nPublic officials and health experts have said that the risk of transferring the virus person-to-person through the use of banknotes is small.
