Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether his Department has plans to launch a public health campaign to raise public awareness of the risk of transmission of covid-19 via (a) ATMs, (b) petrol pumps and (c) other frequently touched objects in public places.

Public Health England (PHE) has published guidance on Covid-19 decontamination in non-healthcare settings. The guidance describes best practice in cleaning, ?the appropriate disposal of materials, the disinfection of equipment and the personal protective equipment that should be worn.

PHE has also produced a ‘cleaning and disinfection’ poster, to accompany its specific guidance covering the cleaning of environments in the community. Both can be found here:
