As coronavirus continues to spread, companies producing hand-sanitisers – one of the key measures from keeping the virus from spreading – are unable to keep up with demand, selling out of stocks.
Craig Jones the CEO and founder of Australian skin care range, MooGoo said their entire six-month stock of back anti-bacterial hand-gel was snapped off chemist shelves in just four days.
“We then made a backup batch and sold out of that too,” said Mr Jones.
“The Natural Anti-Bacterial Hand Gel uses an essential oil that kills 99.999 percent of pathogens in the standard test.”
Other companies are jacking up the price as Australians start to stockpile key household items fearing a coronavirus pandemic.
“We decided not to increase the price even though the demand is so strong.”
Meanwhile in the UK chemists are imposing a two-bottle limit on the amount of hand sanitiser that people can buy, amid the increased demand for the germ-killing gel due to coronavirus fears.
