Bangladesh's state-owned distillery Carew and Co (Bangladesh) Ltd has started producing hand sanitisers to meet the increasing demand amid the global coronavirus outbreak.
‘Carew’s Hand Sanitizer’, which was proven to be 99.99% effective in destroying harmful virus and bacteria in a lab test, will be available in the market very soon, BSS reported on Sunday citing a statement by the industries ministry.
A 100ml bottle of hand sanitiser will cost only 60 taka, which is cheaper than any sanitisers currently available in the market.
After the first production, it was distributed among the workers and officials of Chuadanga local administration and the staff at Carew, added the release.
The sanitiser will be available in 16 shopping complexes, and in front of Industries Ministry and Bangladesh Sugar and Food Industries Corporation offices, says the BSS report.
