Hand sanitiser has become somewhat of a liquid gold. The coronavirus outbreak has caused a national shortage of the antibacterial gel, with most supermarkets and stores sold out across the country.
The pandemic panic buying has led many retailers to impose strict purchase limits on sanitiser and other essential items like toilet paper to give shoppers equal opportunity to access them.
If you’ve tried but haven’t managed to get your hands on hand sanitiser, don’t despair. We’ve sussed out where you can find some (subject to availability, of course).
