Some residents of Kwara State now use hand sanitisers as mouthwash and to rub on their bodies as prevention against COVID-19 infection.

Vanguard gathered that following residents’ use of sanitisers to wash their mouths and applying same on their bodies, former Minister of Sports, Bolaji Abdullahi, advised them against abuse of the substance.

He gave the advice while distributing 3,000 free hand sanitisers to various members of associations and groups in Ilorin, yesterday.
