However, both the World Health Organisation and the US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention have warned that hand sanitisers with an alcohol concentration of less than 60% are less effective and merely reduce the growth of germs rather than killing them. “The unique environment of a prison and the sheer numbers and diversity of people who pass through our prisons make vigilance around infection prevention and control absolutely necessary,” the IPS said in a statement.
“[They] are quarantined from society but not from each other. They lack handwashing facilities or hand sanitiser, which is sometimes deemed contraband due to its alcohol content. Handcuffed people cannot cover their mouths when they cough or sneeze,” added the Galway-based consultant.
What about prison officers working in the prisons Seeing as the advice is that non alcohol based disinfectant is less effective?
Which moron writes these braindead headlines? You've literally said that the prison gave the prisoners the thing they're afraid of the prisoners' having. Idiotic. I'm going to guess it was McGrathDominic ireland
Yeah, they're probably not wrong doing that
