Coronavirus banknotes: Could coronavirus be spread via banknotes?

Although the aerosol method is a virus’ core transmission mechanism, it can also spread through physical contact.
One risk is that the virus enters the body after people get it on their hands, as it sticks to a range of surfaces.
Authorities are currently unclear as to how long coronavirus can survive on different surfaces, but they have identified where people could contract COVID-19.
The virus is surprisingly versatile, but the amount of it which survives often varies depending on the item.
