A 70 percent isopropyl alcohol solution or more is effective against most bacteria & fungi & many viruses. If the alcohol concentration in your hand sanitizer is 70 percent or more you should be relatively safe. Frequent hand washing with soap & water for at least 20 seconds is also effective for Covid-19. So continue to maintain very good hygiene. I wish you well with your health!

I also recommend getting vaccinated for Covid-19 unless there are any contradictions. And due to the delta variant I also suggest wearing face masks when in crowded places at this time

I know not to listen to anything Trump says about injecting COVID patients, but if I let alcohol hand sanitizer soak in for 10 minutes, does that give me longer hand protection for the next hour as I grab groceries?
