You also need to warn your older relatives and friends that the criminal slick talkers are now contacting them representing themselves as part of the govt. health care system etc. and may even scare them by telling them they are tracing those who have been exposed and could die with the goal of getting their credit and financial information, personal information (identity theft) and pass codes etc. In the very rare event it was a legitimate contact, they do not ask things like their mothers maiden name or their credit card info. or banking information and pin #'s. and online banking pass codes etc.

I am using nitrile gloves when I go to gas station now. Open up gas cap. Put them on, and fill up/toss. Close cap and take receipt done. The gas station thing is really big issue when you think about it.

How to kill novel coronavirus in a vehicle
-- Washing your hands and sanitizing surfaces are important in the fight against the novel coronavirus.
One area you may have overlooked is your car and disinfecting your ride, goes far beyond the steering wheel. Think about how many surfaces in your car get touched on an average trip. The door handles both inside and out, control knobs and buttons, the touch screen, even your directional and wiper control stalks are touched almost every time you drive your vehicle.
Consumer Reports’ automotive editors say that because the interior of most cars is made up of a number of different materials, it’s important to use the right products and techniques to disinfect vehicles.
You definitely want to stay away from using bleach or hydrogen peroxide in your car. Those products could easily damage the upholstery.
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, alcohol solutions that contain at least 70 per cent alcohol should be effective at killing COVID-19. This means nearly every interior surface of your car can be cleaned with isopropyl alcohol-based cleaners you alreadyuse around the house.
Consumer Reports recommends focusing on disinfecting vehicle hot spots: the steering wheel, door handles, your car’s shifter, window and control buttons, wiper and turn-signals, door armrests, grab handles, and seat adjusters.
If your car has a touch screen, don’t use anything that has ammonia as an ingredient because that can strip off anti-glare and anti-fingerprint coatings.
And if you’re low on isopropyl alcohol-based cleaning supplies, soap and water are also a safe bet for most surfaces. But no matter what you use, a gentle touch is recommended.
The surfaces inside your car are typically more delicate than the countertop in your kitchen, so it’s important to take care when you apply the cleaning products.
Gently wipe down leather with a microfiber cloth; rubbing too vigorously could remove they colour dye.
And when wiping down fabric upholstery, avoid using too much water, because it could end up creating a musty smell or encouraging mould growth in the cushions.
And try to wash your hands before driving. It will drive help keep surfaces clean and help keep surfaces from prematurely wearing out.

1000% right on...I watched others at the pumps while filling up - NOT 1 person protected their hands while filling up. I have a baggie with sanitizer wipes and put one over my hand to do the pin pad, handle my card, and grasp the pump. Nothing touched any surface during my re-fill. To double protect, before I touched my door handle, I had a bottle of hand sanitizer to wash up. I'm certain the virus can live for a very long time on the gas nozzle...so when these people fill up and jump in the car grabbing the steering wheel and door handle where do you think the virus ends up? Whammo...just passed it along....that simple. Takes a little while longer to fill up, and perhaps people looking thought I was a bit weird about the pre-cautions but in times like this happy to take a little extra care to avoid the crud.

Esquimalt Lagoon Victoria on VI. This photo was taken on a March 21st and not mine. Was posted on Facebook.
This is an example of what not to do.

Read a suggestion that using and keeping a roll of doggy bags as opposed to nitrile gloves is also an option. Cheaper and easier on the landfill? Sounds like a good idea.

About the use of gloves:
People using gloves have to remember that once you touch a surface you consider infected the outside of your gloves are infected and everything you touch after that with the gloves is transferring material from any items touched previously with the gloves. If you are not washing your gloves and then going in your vehicle you're not isolating the potential transfer of pathogens. I think gloves help people not touch their faces and what not, but they have to take steps to isolate the interior of their vehicles.
When getting gas pumps or touching items shared with others it is important to go to those items with previously washed hands. As individuals 2 way isolation practices have to take place.
