In Finland, most businesses (most were open - other than restaurants and bars) went with "card only" purchases, no cash at all.

I have only seen the banks suggest the shortages; however, I think that most businesses are also highlighting the "contactless" payment given the health situation.
Finland has been largely cashless by "choice" for almost 2 decades - Germany/Austria is still very much using cash. I think there are ulterior motives to go cashless as it takes away the physical checks and balances of spending - but hopefully the continued result is that it primes people for crypto.
