Usage of Hand-sanitizer

Doctors and health experts are advising to keep cleanliness and hygiene maintenance to prevent Coronavirus. Most importantly, cleanliness of hands is very important. It is not possible to wash our hands repeatedly with soap while traveling or at work, in that case we can use hand sanitizer. According to WHO, we should clean our hands with an alcohol-based sanitizer in which 60% alcohol is present.

Why hand satisation is important at this stage?

Coronavirus can spread through the sneeze or cough of an infected person. These drops are easily transferred by coughing and sneezing to the other person and it stays on a surface or skin, then the virus spreads by touching other objects. At that moment we should clean our hands by alcohol-based sanitizer to keep yourself safe.
