In a pandemic like this, everyone needs to pay attention to cleanliness. Starting from the cleanliness of the body, food, and items that are touched every day. But of all that, of course hand hygiene is the number one thing we need to protect.
However, please note that not all types of hand sanitizers are able to prevent transmission of COVID-19.
In the market, you will find various types of hand sanitizers with different ingredients. Certain types of hand sanitizers may kill bacteria, but not necessarily with viruses or other germs. So you don't choose the wrong one, let's first identify what hand sanitizer you really need.

This type of hand sanitizer can prevent COVID-19 transmission
Hand sanitizers are effective in preventing the spread of COVID-19, but only if you use them properly. One of the factors that determines whether or not a hand sanitizer product is the active ingredient in it.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends the use of hand sanitizers containing at least 60% alcohol. The reason is alcohol is an important ingredient that will kill various germs on your hands.
Viruses are composed of a genetic code chain stored in a kind of 'skin' called capsid. Meanwhile, some viruses in animals such as coronavirus usually have an extra sheath made of fat, phosphorus, protein, and glucose.
The alcohol in the hand sanitizer, especially from the type of ethanol or isopropyl alcohol, can decompose and destroy the casing. The virus finally can not survive or multiply, and eventually will die.
This is why many hospitals use alcohol-based hand sanitizers to prevent transmission of COVID-19. Alcohol can kill bacteria, viruses, and parasites effectively, including germs in the hospital.
However, the use of hand sanitizers still cannot replace the benefits of washing hands using water and soap. So make sure you only use a hand sanitizer when water and soap are really not available.
Note: Choose a hand sanitizer that contains Aloe Vera so the skin doesn't dry out.
