Coronavirus | Sanitisers will be available in public places in Mumbai, says minister
The HinduHand sanitisers will be made available in public places in Mumbai so that people can wash hands and avoid contracting or spreading novel coronavirus, Mumbai district Guardian Minister Aslam Shaikh said on Friday. Meanwhile, while authorities are busy curbing the spread of the virus, some unscrupulous elements, who are looking to make a fast buck by selling substandard hand wash products and sanitisers, have come under the scanner of the State’s health regulator. The Food and Drugs Administration has launched a crackdown on home-grown units which manufacture substandard hand wash and sanitisers and push them into the local market, an official said. On Wednesday, an FDA team, inspecting medical stores in Kandivali, found a person selling hand sanitisers to a shop owner.
