so the governor announced that NY have made their own hand sanitizer. It will be $6.00 for a gallon and you can get empty hand sanitizer bottles for travel and a empty bigger size too for New Yorkers.


New York now has its own state hand sanitizer, and it's made by prisoners.
The state sanitizer "NYS Clean" was revealed in a press conference on the spread of coronavirus in New York held by Gov. Andrew Cuomo Monday morning. Around 100,000 gallons a day of the product is due to be distributed to places like schools, the MTA, not-for-profits and other government agencies around the state.
Amid surging numbers of novel coronavirus cases in the state there has been a rush on hand sanitizers in stores, with reports of stockists hugely inflating product prices. Last week a hardware store in Manhattan was fined for hiking prices on products like hand sanitizer and antibacterial wipes, cleaning products made popular in recent weeks due to the spread of COVID-19.
