Abu Dhabi Police warned the public against using the "lighter" of cigarettes or approaching the flame of fire, whether in the kitchens of homes or restaurants, immediately after using the hand sanitizer, as it is considered a flammable material, which may endanger the safety of individuals.
She called on community members to be careful when using hand sanitizers and not to leave them for a long time in vehicles, especially with high temperatures during the summer.
She also appealed to the parents that it is necessary to play their role in educating the children and the household labor category about the preventive measures to protect themselves from the risk of sterilizers because they contain high levels of flammable materials.
She pointed out that most sterilizers contain alcohol, which helps reduce the risk of infection, "Covid-19", and sterilizers usually contain a different concentration of alcohol from one sterilizer to another.
