A company that manufacturers gin will be switching to making hand sanitisers in a bid to fight coronavirus.WICHELEN - A Belgian distillery has switched from producing gin to disinfectants after medical authorities sought additional supplies to cope with coronavirus spreading in the country.
In the town of Wichelen, the Rubbens distillery decided to play its part: it started treating the alcohol that normally goes into gin and genever - a juniper-flavoured liquor - with ether, producing a disinfectant liquid for hands and surfaces. Rubbens normally produces around 4,000 litres of liquors a day - now, it's 10,000 litres of the disinfectant instead.
