Covid-19 crisis
Provide hand sanitizers at public places
The medical experts advised that people should wash their hands frequently to get rid of the virus.
I suggested that the govt should provide hand sanitizers for use by the public at all public places, such as MRT stations, bus interchanges, malls and markets.
Some people said - the sanitizers will run out quickly.
Sure, they will run out, because they will be used quickly. How about employing people to go round every hour to fill up the sanitizers?
I find it strange that many people are horrified about the cost of employing workers to fill up the sanitizers. Do they realize that so many workers are now being engaged to do temperature checking and collecting contact details for contact tracing, in case someone is infected?
I am quite sure that the number of workers required to fill up the sanitizers is small, compared to the manpower now being used under code orange, and these workers are likely to be more effective in helping to stop the spread of the virus.
Do you agree that hand sanitizers should be provided at all public places?
