The coronavirus or Covid-19 situation is hardly news anymore, but unfortunately the virus doesn’t seem to be slowing down. At time of writing, both Australia and U.S.A. have just announced their first Covid-19 fatalities, as new cases continue to rise worldwide. It doesn’t look like we can afford to let our guard down regarding the virus anytime soon, but must continue to take preventive measures. One of the said preventive measures include washing your hands, or when that’s not an option, using hand sanitizers. Shelves are emptying, so it’s best to get these hand sanitizers ASAP!
