It's pointless to do all the right things if when you get to the shops you are directly and indirectly coming into contact with dozens of people with just one touch.

I mean, think about it, you go to the checkout and you pass your goods to the checkout staff and they bag it for you.

You then take the goods home thinking you're safe. Only you're not.

The customer before you handed cash at the checkout, the staff took it and put it in the till getting out some change for that customer.

Now our mums always told us that money was full of germs.That's one issue, the other are the baskets/trolleys.

The search for items screens at the self checkouts and everything else you touch at the shop.

You're not the only one touching things.

HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TOUCHED THE ITEMS YOU DID DURING YOUR SHOPPING TRIP?

66 people being investigated currently.

Hopefully, they'll all be fine but we have to ask; how many of them shopped and when did they shop where you did today? Did you touch your face today?
