Hand sanitisers are non existent since Covid-19. Government has to intervene.
Since the outbreak of the coronavirus, it has been virtually impossible to find hand sanitisers anywhere. We believe that the government should enforce companies to be the only buyer of future stock and provide everyone an adequate supply of them to the public to help prevent the spread of Covid-19.
All major supermarkets are stashing their supply of hand sanitisers; often being bought by the staff that work in them, or either ending up in the black market, making only a few available to the general public. We believe the government should intervene temporarily and be the only direct buyer of future stock until the risk of Covid-19 has reduced to a susceptible degree.
