I have 3m avagard hand rub 500 ml. Each ml contains isopropanol i.p. 45%w/w and 30% w/w, 1-propanol i.p. Ethyl-hexadecyl-dimethyl-ammonium-ethylsulphate 0.2%w/w, with moisturizer and emollient. Is this hand rub safe to use in coronavirus (covid-19)? Because it doesn't have 70% alcohol (isopropyl or ethyl alcohol). Can I use it? Please reply.

I suggest that it is better to wash hand for 20 sec with soap and water then use sanitisers. If there is no provision of soap and water then think of sanitiser. Cdc recommends use of 65-90% ethyl or isopropyl alcohol. Take care.
