Abstract
A cart cover device is disclosed that comprises a body component comprised of a protective tube. The body component of the device is then placed around the handle of a shopping cart and secured to prevent contact of the user's hand with the possibly contaminated handle. Once placed on the shopping cart handle, the body component would conform to the handle and allow the user to use the handle as they would without the cover. Thus, the device is designed to prevent contamination from the pathogens found on cart handles.
