Top Companies are Racing to Ensure There’s Plenty of Hand Sanitizer Supply April 21, 2020 - Baystreet.ca When it comes to safeguarding against COVID-19, we’ve been advised to use hand sanitizer. In fact, the U.S. Center for Disease Control (CDC) has strongly recommended using hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol to help kill the virus. With that advise, demand has far outweighed supply. So much so, retailers can’t keep product on shelves. As shortages worsen, it’s unclear in some cases where additional supplies can be found. As a result, companies are racing to meet demand needs as quickly as possible.
