Coronavirus Health Crisis: What It Is, How to Stay Safe and What's Next

PEOPLE associate health editor Julie Mazziotta breaks down what you need to know about the global health crisis

Although experts are still learning more about the spread of the novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, they’re unanimous in their recommendation that sanitizing your hands — whether by washing them with soap and water, or using a hand sanitizer that’s made from at least 60 percent alcohol — is the best way to avoid infection.

Per the recommendations, people should be washing their hands frequently for at least 20 seconds to avoid infection or using a hand sanitizer that is composed of at least 60 percent alcohol (like Orly Beauty’s hand sanitizer spray or Pura D’or’s gel). According to the Centers for Disease Control, the alcohol content is extremely important when it comes to hand sanitizers because that’s what actually kills the bacteria on your hands — other hand sanitizers without this amount of alcohol will only stunt the growth of the bacteria, not remove it.

If done correctly, experts estimate that sanitizing your hands can reduce the rate of infection by respiratory illness infection by 16 to 21 percent, which is huge. To ensure you’re properly ridding your hands of germs, it’s recommended to apply the product to the palm of one of your hands and then rub the product all over both of your hands until it’s completely dry.

When the number of cases began increasing in the U.S., it became difficult to find hand sanitizers in stores or online. Although demand has leveled out a bit, there is still a limited supply of hand sanitizer available around the internet for anyone who needs to purchase some.
