Raise limit for contactless payments to avoid cross infection of Covid 19
Temporarily raise limit for contactless payments at food shops and petrol stations, to avoid cross infection of Covid 19.
Most payments in these places are above £30, resulting in shared use of pinpad, and increased risk of infection.
