Is bar soap ok to use for handwashing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Liquid soap better: bar soap is good for handwashing in most situations. In a home where there is one or more infected persons, it is better to use as many minimal touch items as possible. pump soap for handwashing, disposable plates/utensils for food. Quarantine infected person(s) in one room/bathroom. Remember that cleaning a surface removes dirt and most bacteria. Sanitizing with alcohol based product kills germs
