1. Hand sanitizer

   Hand sanitizer is a liquid generally used to decrease infectious agents on the hands. Formulations of the alcohol-based type are preferable to hand washing with soap and water in most situations in the healthcare setting. It is generally more effective at killing microorganisms and better tolerated than soap and water. Hand washing should still be carried out if contamination can be seen or following the use of the toilet. The general use of non-alcohol based versions has no recommendations. Outside the health care setting evidence to support the use of hand sanitizer over hand washing is poor. They are available as liquids, gels, and foams.Alcohol-based versions typically contain some combination of isopropyl alcohol, ethanol (ethyl alcohol), or n-propanol. Versions that contain 60 to 95% alcohol are most effective. Care should be taken as they are flammable. Alcohol-based hand sanitizer works against a variety of microorganisms but not spores. Some versions contain compounds such as glycerol to prevent drying of the skin. Non-alcohol based versions may contain benzalkonium chloride or triclosan.Alcohol has been used as an antiseptic at least as early as 1363 with evidence to support its use becoming available in the late 1800s. Alcohol-based hand sanitizer has been commonly used in Europe since at least the 1980s. The alcohol-based version is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines, the most effective and safe medicines needed in a health system. The wholesale cost in the developing world is about US$1.40–3.70 per liter bottle.

2. Susan Woolford:

   At this time of year, I feel like prevention is a really good approach, so that we can try to avoid having as many of these illnesses as possible, you can’t do everything, but we can do a lot of hand hygiene, (we) can be sure that we’re washing hands and using hand sanitizer appropriately, and we can be sure that we’re not dosing children with medication and sending them off to school, because they’re still contagious.

3. Henry Wu:

   So, it may need periodic adjustments, that's all the more reason to have hand sanitizer with you so that you can always have clean hands to tighten that mask or to pull it back up.

4. Amy Falcone:

   Your Kids are obsessed with hand sanitizer, each classroom has a hand sanitizer dispenser on the wall. Many use it to an extreme.

5. Catherine Troisi:

   We know that 40 %, maybe even higher, of cases are asymptomatic, meaning they don't have a fever. So, you might catch a few people, but not the vast majority of infected people, handing out masks is good, but better would be requiring masks and modeling behavior of wearing masks. And given that mask wearing has become a political statement, I think there will be social pressure not to wear a mask. In this event, the hand sanitizer is good, but I don't think you're going to stop a lot of cases that way. Most of the spread is through the air.
