Is shampoo effective in sanitizing your hand in prevention of catching and spreading covid-19 (coronavirus)?

COVID 19: Shampoo would likely work the same at soap. It does not "kill" the virus, it washes it away due to the hydrophilic/ hydrophobic bonds when mixed with water.

No confirmed COVID-19 in my area, but stores are sold out of hand sanitizer and very low on disinfectant wipes. How concerned should we be at this point about contracting it while out in public? Is it safe to go about our regular daily activities?
Could all of the increased sanitization resulting from the Covid-19 outbreak create a superbug/super-resistant version of the novel coronavirus?

How long does coronavirus survive on skin? I had blood test (not for covid), sanitised my hands but didn't think to wash my arm. Worried I may have infected myself. Thanks.
