CDC and Hand Sanitzer

The CDC has provided Hand Sanitizer information to prevent the spread of germs, including COVID-19. CDC recommends washing hands with soap and water whenever possible because it reduces the amount of many types of germs and chemicals on hands. But if soap and water are not readily available, using a hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol can help you avoid getting sick and spreading germs to others.

Choose hand sanitizers that contain at least 60% alcohol.
Avoid alcohol-based hand sanitizers that are not approved by Food and Drug Administration (FDA)external icon.
Properly apply alcohol-based sanitizer by rubbing the gel over all surfaces of your hands and fingers until your hands are dry.
Swallowing alcohol-based hand sanitizers can cause alcohol poisoning. Keep them out of reach of young children and supervise their use.

Alcohol-based hand sanitizers come in all shapes and sizes with different ingredients. Which alcohol-based hand sanitizer do you choose?
