Covid-19 pandemic ushers in cashless world with new normal means

No one was prepared for the Covid-19 pandemic, not even the most wealthy and advanced nations in the world. And as everyone waits in bated breath — mostly still in their homes quarantined — for a time when it is safer to go out, more and more “new normal” ways of living are being designed to keep on going without fearing for theirs and their loved ones’ health.

Very much evolving as this crisis continues for one is how people pay for essential goods and bills without having to leave the safety of their homes and touching banknotes and coins. With home deliveries giving people the option to minimize exposure to others, the handling of money is considered as a possible transmitter of viruses from one host to another.
