n the wake of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), where handwashing is one of the ways to avoid contracting the virus, South Africa is currently experiencing a nationwide shortage of hand sanitiser. In response to this dire need, a team of Rhodes 老虎机游戏_pt老虎机-平台*官网 scientists has set up a lab to produce hand sanitiser.

Led by Professor Rod Walker, a registered Pharmacist with the South African Pharmacy Council, the production of sanitiser commenced on Friday, 20 March 2020 when the 老虎机游戏_pt老虎机-平台*官网’s suppliers of sanitiser were not able to meet their demands for the products.

The lab has produced over 2000 litres of sanitiser.
