UK pharmacies see spike in hand sanitiser sales and more demand for face masks following coronavirus outbreak

Ian Anderson, director of marketing at Nice Pak International, one of the world's biggest manufacturers of hand wipes, including the Sani Hands brand, said his firm's sales are up.

told customers on its website:"Due to the current high volume of face masks orders, we are unable to offer any face masks at this time." It advised customers to wash their hands and consider disinfectant wipes, sprays and gloves.The supermarkets declined to comment on sales. In a hospital, a doctor or nurse treating an infected patient might wear a gown, gloves, goggles and a mask, changing all of these once their time with the patient is over, he said. This isn't practical outside a hospital.Tesco's website said two own brand products were not available

The panic buying begins

Nice ass, circle, bot, sound good, water, warm

Facial recognition technology anyone? 😂😂😂😂😂

Lots of bodies in China's hospital without knowing the world Is being burned. Chinese government conceals death toll from corona. China's weapons test to kill the American and European people is killing its own people today. This is not really a disease caused by the snake.

have you scared yourselves into absolute stupor yet?

there's a so called coronarvirus outbreak in one province in China so of course.panic in far away uk who doesn't share a border with said province in China

Coronavirus is fake and made up by the pharmacies to sell hand sanitiser and face masks

A boost to the pharmaceutical industry of GreatBritain

The wearing of face masks should be outlawed in the UK

Bought some masks in case

Why do the coach drivers have no protective clothing on when the people next to them are wearing space suits coronavirus

Hand sanitiser! Wash your hands.

Face masks will do naff all

Wonder if those bus drivers carrying those passengers will be put in quarantine today as none were in any protective gear 😏

Unless the mask seals it’s pointless and normal soap and water water likely to be more effective than sanitizer (unless it’s specifically anti-virus)

Their will be panic when it’s here

That worked well then...

Of course most people think face masks are to prevent 'virus' being breathed in. Sorry dead wrong, face masks are to stop germs (not viruses) being breathed out by you. They do nothing to prevent you getting a virus.

All these face masks are made in China.....

Or maybe stop people entering the country from China. Keep them quarantined there for the incubation period. Bringing people ‘home’ is the most ridiculous idea ever.

Can’t make this out, 2 people who have the virus found in Newcastle and the government health advisor says it’s nothing to worry about. Yet a group of 87 people who haven’t got any confirmed cases as of yet have been flown back and quarantined in Liverpool 🧐 makes you think....

Face masks are not so effective. Watched on the telly that, in China, policemen get rid of ppl wearing no face mask from the train & bus. Chinese tourists binge shop face masks in Japan. Face mask Rhapsody. Washing hands well frequently and not touch your face, it's far better.

That, and ARCO, that great British safety and healthcare company, are working round the clock to meet demands for hazmat suits, masks etc.

Ah yes there always ways to profit from bad things.

Keep the hysteria going.

It's a complete over-reaction. The virus has a very low death-rate, the vast majority of people with the virus have recovered. Don't panic.

When thousands of people died of the common flu nobody cared but now that two Brits have the spooky scary coronavirus the end is nigh! TurningPointUK Coronavirus Hysteria Flu FakeNews

Hi guys, Im watching your coverage of the arrival of the people arriving from China,, Can sombody ask the question, On the bus it looks like there are people in hasmat suits, yet the drivers of the buses are not even wearing face masks ? TY

Isn’t soap and water better than hand sanitizers

General hand hygiene is poor, washing your hands after you go to the loo would be a good place to start for some folk.

I'll try, but all that soap and warm water's gonna make my face verrrrry slippery.

Or you could just wash your hands?
