You quoted him saying he did not shake hands, that to a lot of us seems a bit excessive. Tem42 tells us that it is more plausible to carry antibacterial wipe for hygiene concerns as opposed to a blanket bank on shaking hands, which to us, is rather strange.
If the cost/benefit is <not shaking hands > vs <shaking hands and using anti-bacterial wipe>. It seems like the latter is more plausible, especially cause the article also said he shook hands and left.
I think the most plausible is that he does shake hands and he does not use anti-bacterial wipe, merely that he mentioned to the reporter "I prefer not to shake hands to keep myself safe" and that the reporter exaggerated.
