DarlinDebra Posted February 6, 2020 #1 Share Posted February 6, 2020 I love playing in the Casino while at Sea. I play Keno, sit in the smoking section and can sit for hours. My new concern is the machines with germs, especially with the latest virus. I do bring wipes but is that enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hand sanitizer will not help against coronavirus. Just make sure to wash hands with soap and hot water after playing in the casino (that should happen no matter what since there are plenty of other germs always floating around) and while playing don't touch exposed areas of your body where germs can enter (eyes, mouth, nose, ears).

Hand sanitizer does work against Coronavirus. Washing hands is likely better, but I’m not getting out of my chair to wash my hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AV8rix Posted February 14, 2020 #6 Share Posted February 14, 2020 I always use latex or nitrile gloves to handle my chips on the first few days of a cruise, 'til I'm certain that the incubation time for noro since embarkation has passed. I guess this would work for slots too. But then I don't touch menus (on HAL the menus are posted by the MDR door anyway) or stairway handrails either. I don't use elevators...although that's for fitness purposes but also serves me well for protection from noro and respiratory cruise crud. I've been on sick ships but have never gotten noro or any other transmissible disease....so far. I'm still not 100% certain that I understand the transmission pathway of novel coronavirus .. probably airborne so gloves and my no-touch policy may not work for that. Nor do I think that they've made the final determination of incubation time. Don't intend to do any Asia cruises until all this resolves anyway.
