Coronavirus in Poland. How to refuel a car safely?

The use of the car involves its refueling. How to fuel your car safely during the coronavirus pandemic? It is worth remembering the basic rules.

When you are at a gas station, it is recommended to use disposable gloves. If possible, it is worth filling the tank to the top so as not to return for fuel in the near future. A self-service station or one that offers to pay for fuel through an app is a good idea.

 – If there are employees at the station, keep an appropriate distance from the employee and pay with a contactless card or mobile phone. After that, you need to thoroughly wash your hands or disinfect them with a special skin disinfectant, which should always be with you in the car, - comments the head doctor of Skoda Yana Parmova.
