【明報專訊】MoMo: I am running out of alcohol-based handrub! Where could I get them?

Bill: Look! I found a bottle of vodka in the kitchen! You could probably use it to sanitize your hands.

Dr Panda: This is ridiculous! According to the health advice issued by the government, we should use 70-80% alcohol-based handrub to sanitize our hands. Alcoholic drinks are definitely not effective for disinfection!

Bill: Oh I see! I will buy them from the department store instead.

Dr Panda: Do not consume that alcoholic drink as well! You are underage!

◆Tips: When cleaning your hands with a water tap, wash with liquid soap and water, and rub for at least 20 seconds, then dry them with a disposable paper towel.

■Glossary
