ABSTRACT
A contagious respiratory disease that was first detected in China in
December 2019 has spread worldwide. The 2019 novel (new)
coronavirus has been named SARS-CoV-2 and the disease it causes is
called coronavirus disease 2019, or COVID-19 Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC) expects widespread transmission of
COVID-19 in our country. A coronavirus is the name for a large set of
illnesses, including the common cold and other respiratory infections.
The term “novel” coronavirus means It‟s a new form of the virus. This
virus is really transmissible and can spread easily from person to
person even before a person develops symptoms. It‟s carried on respiratory droplets when we
talk, sneeze, and cough and these can land on surfaces or in someone‟s mouth or nose. With
the announcement of the COVID-19 pandemic by the WHO, experts around the world
recommend frequent hand washing, social distancing, and respiratory hygiene to reduce the
virus‟ spread. Hand sanitizing is one of the most effective ways a person can protect
themselves and their family from getting sick. Due to a potential shortage of hand sanitizers
in stores, and due to their high cost and shortage most of people's were unable to have it to
overcome this shortage Here in our article we are presenting the home made hand sanitizer
which is easy to made, highly economical, and have no side effect. The extent of this
outbreak is rapidly evolving and risk assessment changes daily, so we must need to know the
detail study of this virus for better awareness, prevention, pathogenesis, diagnosis, and
treatment for COVID-19.
