Coronavirus, which started from the city of Wuhan in China, has become a serious threat to the whole world today. Due to this, around 16 thousand people have died so far, while millions of people are infected. Lockdown has been done in many countries including India to deal with this global epidemic, so that people do not get out of their homes and spread the infection.
People imprisoned in homes are also being repeatedly advised to wash their hands with soap. Also, hand sanitizer is playing an important role in preventing this virus. Today hand sanitizer may have become common, but hardly you will know that it has been used for the last 54 years.
Do you know who created the first-hand sanitizer and told the world how to use it? According to a report, the idea of making it first came in the year 1966 to a woman living in the city of Bakersfield in the US state of California named Lupe Hernandez.
Lupe was a nursing student. One day he suddenly came to his mind that what would happen if there is no soap and water to clean the hands before going to any patient or after coming from him. After this, he thought why not make something that is different from soap and works without water, as well as germs, die from its use. In such a situation, he made an alcoholic gel and rubbed it on his hands to check what he benefited from.
