香港第三波新冠肺炎疫情爆發，由於病毒傳播時間短且速度快，全城人心惶惶，早前更有確診個案懷疑經接收紙幣或文件傳染。過去港大公共衛生學院就有研究發現，新冠肺炎病毒可在鈔票表面存活2日，觸摸銀紙後不洗手變相增傳播風險，隨時令市民防不勝防！
今年初香港大學公共衛生學院就新冠病毒在不同物料表面存活時間作出研究，發現病毒在鈔票表面可存活2日，於外科口罩表面更可長達7日，而在平滑表面上可停留更長時間。
其實早前美國國家衞生研究院（NIH）亦有研究指出病毒在不同物料表面存活時間有明顯差異，在銅物料僅存活4小時，硬紙板則更可存活24小時。
由於早前屯門眼科中心確診個案中心，港大微生物學系講座教授袁國勇估計確診者疑透過鈔票或文件傳播，加上病毒停留在紙幣表面有機會增傳播風險，衞生防護中心傳染病處主任張竹君就呼籲市民接觸後應盡快洗手。
日本愛知醫科大學教授Mikamo Hiroshige亦曾就鈔票會否傳播病毒作出回應，指需要視乎該紙幣上的病毒數量而定，若紙幣錯被確診者接觸過，估計會有病毒留在鈔票表面上一段時間，因此建議市民觸摸銀紙後，不宜觸碰口鼻，態盡以皂液洗手或以酒精消毒雙手。
