Public transport windows
Public transport services such as trains and buses have been curtailed. The study says that the rods used as windows and handles of these public transports are termed as the most contagious. They are made of materials like steel or glass. Due to which viruses are easily trapped in it. Many passengers use them, making it more contagious.
money notes

Avoid using notes as much as possible during this time. Or if you ever catch money, you have to sanitize it immediately.
phone screen
Phone has become an essential part of our life. We carry our phones wherever we go. Some people even take the phone into the washroom. Viruses get stuck on phone screens very easily.

Moreover, due to corona, the virus can be stuck on the phone screen from outside.
ATM booth switch
Viruses can easily get on the buttons and screens of ATM booths. Everyone touches the button and screen of the ATM booth to withdraw money. Due to which the risk of spreading the infection also increases. At this time it is better to do online transaction instead of withdrawing money from ATM. After all, if you have to use the ATM booth, it is better to sanitize your hands after using the booth.
Stainless steel
According to the study, the virus does not last long in high heat, but it can easily survive for several hours on stainless steel. Most of the utensils used in the kitchen are made of steel. In this case, the risk of infection may increase.
