Coronavirus Prevention : How To Make Hand Sanitizer At Home

When you have difficulty getting hand sanitizer, you should try to make it at home.  Here is how to prevent coronavirus by making hand sanitizers at home.

Expert Opinion

♡ CDC recommends washing hands with soap and water whenever possible because handwashing reduces the amounts of all types of germs and chemicals on hands. But if soap and water are not available, using a hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol can help you avoid getting sick and spreading germs to others.
♡ CNN , I worry about people making their own sanitizer as it will be difficult to make sure that the concentrations are correct," Daniel Parker, assistant professor of public health at the University of California, Irvine, told CNN of the trend.

For hand sanitizer to be effective, it must have at least 60% alcohol content, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Store-bought hand sanitizers will also often have emollients to counter the harshness of the alcohol on the skin. If you don't have that in your homemade recipe, you could risk hurting your hands, Sally Bloomfield, a professor at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine told the Guardian.

Basic prevention measures against new coronavirus

Quoted from WHO, here is basic prevention measures against new coronavirus :

♡ Wash Your hands
Regularly and thoroughly clean your hands with rubbing alcohol or washing with soap and water.
♡ Maintain Social Distance 
Maintain a distance of at least 1 meter (3 feet) between you and anyone who coughs or sneezes.
♤ Avoid touching the eyes, nose and mouth
Hands touch many surfaces and can pick up viruses.  After being contaminated, the hands can transfer the virus to your eyes, nose, or mouth.  From there, viruses can enter your body and can make you sick.
♡ Breathing Hygiene
Make sure you, and the people around you, follow good respiratory hygiene.  This means covering your mouth and nose with elbows or bent tissue when you cough or sneeze.  Then immediately remove the used tissue.
