COVID-19: TSC shows how to make a disinfectant for virus prevention

2020-01-31
As cases of the COVID-19 continue to climb, TSC and all its business/store locations have already prepared alcohol-based sanitizers and displayed warning posters to raise public awareness on preventive measures for the virus. Meanwhile, TSC biotechnology business division accelerates the production of 95% rubbing alcohol and the price remains unchanged to meet the demand for disease prevention.
 
Due to the coronavirus outbreak, people wear face masks to prevent infections; moreover, washing hands properly and sanitizing hands with rubbing alcohol are also key protective measures to avoid the transmission of the virus. 75% alcohol has been found to be effective in killing bacteria. "The coronavirus outbreak seems unstoppable, so it's been an island-wide shortage of 75 percent alcohol," TSC said, "we have always been producing 95% alcohol which comes in 500ml bottles and they are available at pharmacies or chain drugstores. People can further dilute them to make disinfectants for disease prevention.”
 
"The concentration of alcohol between 70% to 80% is effective in killing bacteria," TSC said, "people can dilute the 95% alcohol in a ratio of 3:1 to make alcohol-based sanitizers; in other words, mix 3 parts of 95% alcohol with 1 part of distilled or boiled water to get 70% to 78% rubbing alcohol. It's easy, affordable and effective.”
 
Most people carry rubbing alcohol spray in public places; however, alcohol is flammable, so in addition to virus prevention, precautionary and safety measures are required. TSC calls for people to visit Taiwan CDC website or add '@taiwancdc' to LINE for the lastest information about the novel coronavirus (COVID-19).”
