New Delhi: While we are in the midst of a pandemic, there’s a lot of information out there about coronavirus, but not all of it is true. A false claim that using hand sanitiser continuously can cause harmful skin disease or cancer has been circulating in social media which is not true.

Hand Sanitizer

A team has confirmed the allegations about hand sanitizers in a growing number of cases of corona virus. A newspaper clipping is being shared on social media. Titled 'Sanitizer Dangerous, Use Soap'.

The report claims that a study has found that using sanitizer for 50-60 consecutive days increases the risk of cancer and skin diseases. This information about the sanitizer is completely false.

There is no harm in using a sanitizer. Hand sanitizer with 70% alcohol content is used to prevent the spread of the corona virus.

To prevent the spread of corona virus in the country, the government has appealed to people to use sanitizer and wash their hands with soap for at least 20 seconds. In addition, people have been asked to follow the rules of social distance.
