Looks good. Most ATMs are vaguely waterproof. If you see what the Germans call spritzensparken, put your hands in your pocket, look innocent, and walk casually away,
Most of the other proposed ideas look good as well.
99% of surviving this is simple, old fashioned commonsense. Understand the basics of disease transmission (the vapor and aerosol due to breathing -- coughing and sneezing even moreso) and surface contamination (assume days not minutes). Then use due-diligence to prevent being a disease vector to others and prevent others infecting you. That's the basis for social distancing, handwashing and the use of sanitizers. Let's also agree that 99% is probably the upper limit of how safe these practices can make us. Perfection is, as always, unachievable.
Be safe out there!
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
