"hand gel"

A representative of the Royal Thai Volunteers Centre on Monday provided 10,000 sets of face masks and alcohol-based sanitising gels to the State Railway of Thailand (SRT).

In a move to boost consumer confidence in local products, the Thai Industrial Standards Institute (TISI) has tested and certified two locally manufactured alcohol-based hand sanitising gels, the Industry Ministry’s spokesperson Suchada Taensub said.

The Ministry of Energy has clarified that it has only 1 million litres of alcohol left per day after use for fuel-making and not 100 million litres as claimed by a Phalang Pracharat lawmaker.

The Central Committee for Prices of Goods and Services has declared hand sanitisers that have alcohol as an ingredient a controlled product, according to a Ministry of Commerce announcement in the Royal Gazette on Friday (March 5).

The Energy Ministry is working with private organisations to help alleviate effects of the Covid-19 coronovirus, Minister Sonthirat Sonthijirawong said on Thursday (March 5).

The Government Pharmaceutical Organisation (GPO) has decided to increase supplies of alcohol hand gels to 700,000 bottles per day for 60 millilitre size and 900,000 bottles per day for 450ml.
