Hand sanitizer to be put on prescription so that vulnerable groups can get it
In light of the current corona virus outbreak and bearing in mind it is peak flu season. I would like the government to put hand sanitizers and similar items on prescription so that people in vulnerable groups can get hold of it to help protect themselves as currently due to panic buying we cannot
I am a severe asthmatic and live in a household with an immuno compromised person. I also work in a school as a teacher. Currently we cannot get hold of basic hygiene products such as hand sanitizer and cleaning products that we rely on everyday, not just in a pandemic to keep us safe, this is also the case for many other people in at risk groups. We would like the government to put these products on prescription so that we can get hold of them easily and protect ourselves from all pathogens.
