4. *Everyday COVID 19 seems to reach a new
and tragic Milestone. More Than 310000
cases have been reported to WHO, and
more than 9000 people have lost their lives.
Everyday we are learning more about this
virus and the disease it causes. Although
older people are the hardest hit, younger
people are not spared
* Data from many countries clearly show that
the people under 50 make up a significant
proportion of patients requiring
hospitalization
* Coronavirus continues to be a serious health
risk for the public, as it is a virus it is
essential to understand that viruses will
change continually and new versions will
keep emerging. To prevent exposure to such
dangerous virus and bacteria, use of
sanitizers such as Savlon or Lizol become
mandatory

6. Sanitizers are the derivatives of
Ethyl alcohol. Ethyl alcohol is a
member of genre of organic
compounds called Alcohols with
molecular formula C2H5OH.In
Sanitizers Ethyl alcohol is used at
a concentration of 62% Alcohol
kills bacteria By destroying the
organism’s proteins and lipids
This process makes antiseptics
and sanitizers effective to
numerous funguses and viruses
but is ineffective against spore of
bacteria.
8. *“Alcohol based hand sanitizers are
clearly a very useful and important
method to prevent most bacterial and
infections, with rare exceptions”- says
Aarou E. Glatt
*The Best way to prevent
transmission of disease is a frequently
wash your hands with soap and water
and use of antiseptic but if that’s not
available then it is recommend that
one should use an alcoholic based hand
sanitizer that has at least 60% effective
alcohol content inside it
*Hand Sanitizer, also called hand
antiseptic or hand rub, agent applied
to the hand for a purpose of removing
*Common pathogens (disease causing
organisms). They typically come in
foam, gel or liquid form
9. Although the effectiveness of hand sanitizers is
variable, it is employed as a simple means of infection
control in a wide variety of settings, from day care
centres and school to hospitals and health care, clinics
and from super markets to cruise ships
Despite the variability in Effectiveness, hand sanitizers can
help control the transmission of infections diseases ,
especially in settings where compliance with hand washing is
poor
10. Agencies such as World Health Organisation and
the U.S Centres for Disease Control and
Prevention promote the use of alcohol based hand
sanitizers over alcohol-free Products.
Concerns over the use of alcohol-based hand sanitizers have centred
primarily on product flammability and ingestion, both unintentional and
intentional. With proper storage and strategies that limit access to alcohol-
containing sanitizer the risk of fire or poisoning from accidental or
intentional ingestion of alcohol based hand Sanitizers in considered to be
low.
