How to make your own Hydroalcoholic gel

Covid-19 coronavirus is spread through salivary droplets emitted during coughing or sneezing, but it can also be spread through contaminated objects. Apart from using the Hydroalcoholic gel to combat the spread of the virus, the government has issued recommendations:

Wash your hands regularly
Cough and sneeze into his elbow
No more shaking hands
Use single-use tissues
Wear a mask when you are sick

When the coronavirus began to spread in World, the outlets were quickly emptied of their stock of anti-bacterial solutions. These products sold in bottles are sanitizing and skin solutions which are used to disinfect the hands. Because of the shortage of hydroalcoholic gels, their price had increased sharply, but the government decided to introduce fixed costs: $2 for the 50ml bottle and $3 maximum for the 100ml bottle. They will be maintained until May 31, 2020.

How to properly use hydroalcoholic gels?

First thing: do not use hydroalcoholic gel on wet hands. More importantly, apply them on dry hands. These solutions are not a substitute for washing with hot water and soap, as they do not completely clean your hands. But in the absence of water or soap, they can be useful.
