There is just one confirmed case of coronavirus in Croydon at the moment.

And while that number will probably rise in the coming days and weeks people making their way around the borough are unphased by the virus.

We spoke to people waiting for trams and while most told us they are washing their hands a bit more, none of them said they had changed their daily routines.

There have been reports of people travelling less on the tube, but the tram network in Croydon, which is generally less cramped, seemed unaffected when we spoke to travellers on Wednesday.

At the West Croydon tram stop, oyster card validators and bins were being wiped down by a cleaner with disinfecting spray, but he told us that this is something that is always done.

Rhia Matthews from Addington was getting the tram back from shopping in the town centre.

She said she has not changed her behaviour and isn’t worried about the virus any more than seasonal flu.

“It’s a serious flu, I don’t feel worried about it. I’m still going shopping as I do normally.

“Every other year there’s been various illnesses, swine flu, bird flu, hand foot and mouth.

“If I’m supposed to die from coronavirus there’s nothing I can do about it.”

A woman who retired from Morrison’s on Friday said that the shelves at the supermarket were being cleared out.

But she said concerns about the virus wouldn’t stop her from travelling on the tram.

“I am not particularly worried about it, I just hope that I don’t get it,” she said.

“The shops are going crazy. The shelves are empty, it’s awful, people are panic buying.

“ I think it’s unfair on other people. Especially older people who can’t bulk buy.”

A nurse, Rachel, said that she had been signed off from work for two weeks as she had a normal cold.

“That is the worst thing about this, and they are not going to pay me,” she added.

While Edna Ash from Addiscombe said she has not been put off getting the tram into town do her shopping.

She said: “I know it is going to be working faster than we can so we can’t worry about it.

“If I had to stay indoors I would just enjoy the garden.”

But Samira Yaboah said that she is worried about her children, who are 12, eight and two-years-old.

She said: “I am concerned about it because I have small children, I think they should stay at home [not go to school].

“I am washing my hands and using sanitiser more than usual and I’ve been telling my kids to do the same.

“They don’t listen though – even for us adults it’s hard to remember, so how about them?”

And Martin Waller who was getting the tram to New Addington said that he is not worried about catching the virus in Croydon.

“I thought corona was a type of lemonade,” he joked.

“I don’t give a monkeys about it, it’s just one of these things. I don’t think that I will be catch it here.”

Yesterday (Tuesday, March 10) it was announced that enhanced cleaning is being introduced across all TfL public transport, which includes the trams.

It means that additional substances that kill viruses and bacteria on contact in order to reduce the risk of coronavirus spreading started being used last week.

Key interchanges will also be cleaned more regularly than usual, including during the day.
