Can coronavirus spread by putting credit card in public cash machine and then not washing hands after handling it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: Coronavirus can last on a plastic surface for up to 3 days. If you posted the card (and don't have Coronavirus) it is not likely that it would be transmitted onto the card from the machine.
