The Drug and Food Control Authority of South Sudan has released a list of 13 brands of hand sanitizers that are not fit for public use.

The alert comes amid a high demand of sanitizers to use as protection from the coronavirus.

The Drug and Food Control Authority, DFCA of South Sudan has issued an order withdrawing the substandard hand sanitizers from the market. 

The Authority’s Secretary General, Mawien Atem Mawien says inspectors are collecting the products from shelves in markets and pharmacies.
