Provide refill stations for hand sanitiser gel for public use
It is currently virtually impossible to find supplies of hand sanitiser gel in shops. Government guidance is using such products is key in the fight against the virus. Government could easily and dramatically help the situation by providing "refill points" in locations like GP surgeries and chemists
Government is in the position to secure sanitising gel in bulk. Setting up locations with bulk containers to enable people to refil their empty small containers would easily aleviate this block on following what is otherwise simple advice on hand hygene. This is particularly important when out and about when sanitising should be performed more frequently and washing hands is not always possible.
