‘Don’t touch money with gloved hands’

Traders are reminded not to use their gloved hands to handle both food and money.

DO not use a gloved hand to handle food and then touch money as this can increase risk of pathogen transmission, says a Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) don.

Family medicine specialist Dr Mastura Mohd Sopian said it was commendable that food handlers wear gloves, but they must also be mindful of what else they touch.
