The World Health Organisation has confirmed newspapers remain safe to read during the coronavirus pandemic.

The WHO has said the likelihood of an infected person contaminating commercial goods is low, and therefore the risk of contracting COVID-19 through receipt of a printed paper is infinitely small.

The UK government is committed to allowing news providers to stay open within new lockdown legislation and confirmed that journalists are recognised as key workers. Reach Plc, JPIMedia and Newsquest are among those to support the scheme, which allows readers to get newspapers delivered to their door for free for up to six weeks.

NMA chairman Henry Faure Walker has also issued an open letter to retailers concerning the importance of news publications during the coronavirus outbreak. The company issued a trading update this morning in which it set out its current strategy regarding COVID-19’s impact on the business, emphasising its priority had been to “safeguard the health and wellbeing” of staff.
