Pitch
Throughout the African continent, chemistry departments in universities as well as local youth organisations mobilize to produce alcohol-based hand rub (or hand sanitizers) to prevent the transmission of COVID-19 among the population. Often distributed free of charge, they contribute to the efforts made by governments and administrative authorities in fighting the disease.
