An article regarding the importance of washing your hands to help prevent the spread of diseases.
I have noticed more people using the paper wipes that Coles and Woollies place in dispensers outside their stores to wipe the shopping trolley handles.
Presumably the wipes are treated with disinfectant, but even if they are, consumers still need to be cautious with what that do in the stores such as taste testing grapes or other foodstuffs others may have handled, as well as handling any products and then touching their faces.
As per my post in another topic, I am still to see any evidence of the panic buying and empty shelves the media is claiming.

Our local Chemist Warehouse had a fully stocked display of hand sanitizer near the entrance, and Coles and Woollies seemed to still be fully stocked with everything today.
I did see another person wearing a face mask today, a younger Eurasian woman.
However, there were very few people around at either the Mt Sheridan or the Stockland shopping centres today. It appeared that people were avoiding going out in public.
