I normally wear nitrile gloves when I handle cash as it's commonly soaked in sweat and urine. Within two hours of beginning shift my fingertips will be yellow from the currency. Now we throw this virus into the mix and I'm using a institutional food service sanitizer that is ammonia based for wetting surfaces and my gloves as often as practical. It's specifically marked as effective against the last Coronavius strain (229E).
Don't be offended if I keep my distance from the counter.
