The dioceses of Hong Kong and Singapore ordered that Holy Communion be distributed only on the hand while forbidding the reception on the tongue.
The reason given is the spreading of the Corona-virus.
However, not even in the historic times of the plague, Holy Communion was distributed on the hand. The priests protected themselves by using so called plague spoons (picture below).
This were golden or silver spoons with a spoon-handle up to forty centimetres to distribute Holy Communion.

"Active measures include hand sanitizers and avoiding the peace handshake."
Not a problem in Traditional Latin Mass parishes. Whatever goes on in your novus ordo circus is your own problem.
"In addition those distributing the Sacred Host on the tongue need to sanitize their fingers should a finger touch a tongue or lip."
Implying germs can be spread by the sanctified hands that are literally holding …More

GTFO. >:(
This is obviously just another excuse for Communist China to strike at God's True Church and God's Liturgy.
Besides, according to the CDC, there isn't any certainty physical contact even transmits the virus. It's predominantly a respiratory virus.
As usual @Thors Catholic Hammer is making things up again.

Nothing "superstitous" about it. Unless you also call the miracle of transubstantiation mere "superstition" and there are certainly many who do.
I will admit, I honestly didn't expect to find somebody like that on GTV, though.More

To Ultraviolet.
I have received on the tongue at TLM masses along with the saliva from a communicant near me which was transferred to the priests fingers and then to my lip.
Receiving orally is the most unhygienic means of Holy Communion.
At least when you receive in the hand you are not getting a dose of your neighbors bad cough transferred via the priests fingers..More

"At least when you receive in the hand you are not getting a dose of your neighbors bad cough transferred via the priests fingers."
Sloppy logic. If your neighbor has a bad cough, you're more likely to catch their illness directly from them via airborne dispersion of the saliva/ mucus droplets.
Like usual, you've fixated on something and ignore all evidence and reason to the contrary.

I'm curious if you raised your concerns with the pastor. Or, as I suspect, the poor man pointedly absents himself whenever he sees you closing in on him with that urgent gleam in your eye. No doubt he's already been on the wrong end of your "corrections" involving any mention Pope Francis.
(oh God help me... it's that guy again, here he comes) *turns in desperation to the nearest warm body* "Why Mrs. Jones! What a lovely brooch you're wearing, tell me... how IS your psoriasis doing these days?"
"Father, I'm SO glad you asked, It's been just awful lately... My doctor said... and then I said..."
Given the choice between listening to a cranky old woman detail every crusty red scaly rash that appears on her receding hairline and you, I can't blame the man for choosing the former. :D
"I have received on the tongue at TLM masses along with the saliva from a communicant near me which was transferred to the priests fingers and then to my lip."
Or so you claim. Sadly, you do have an unfortunate habit of telling falsehoods whenever they better suit your purpose or your argument. At best, you are arguing from personal experience, entirely unsupported personal experience at that.
Put another way, many people claim to have been abducted by aliens, many people claim they are aliens, others claim they've seen the Loch Ness Monster, others claim the've petted the Loch Ness Monster.
Their say-so doesn't prove it is true.
