As we all know, the COVID-19 disease is still spreading like wildfire with many developed as well as developing countries reporting a large number of cases on a daily basis. For instance, India surpassed Brazil recently to become the 2nd worst affected country after recording the fastest growing coronavirus caseloads in the world.
What is more unfortunate is that India is forced to enter the unlocking phase amidst the rapidly increasing cases. The country is experiencing a huge economic slowdown that has forced the government to resume work in many commercial as well as public sectors. Thus, people are leveraged to work while following all the social distancing norms and precautionary measures against the virus transmission. One such measure is the use of hand sanitizers for disinfecting the hands.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) issued an advisory that suggested people to clean their hands frequently and thoroughly in order to minimize the risk of virus transmission. People can simply wash their hands with soap and water or use an alcohol-based sanitizer (at least 60% alcohol) for the same. However, hand sanitizers are medicated products that are manufactured for killing bacteria and viruses, and thus, should be used carefully.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates hand sanitizers as over-the-counter (OTC) drugs that may prove to be harmful for people, especially children and toddlers. Thus, it is important that you use hand sanitizers properly and with utmost care.
Here are some important points you should keep in mind while using hand sanitizers:
