The world is battling the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic at different levels. In the fight against the deadly disease, social distancing and sanitisation are the biggest tools human beings have at their disposal. In these times where people have struggled to get their hands on enough sanitisers, cricketing legend Shane Warne has taken a big step in to curb the spread of coronavirus.
Warne’s company, ‘SevenZeroEight Gin’, which manufactures alcohol, has now decided to produce “medical grade 70 % alcohol” hand sanitiser to help hospitals in Australia battle the deadly disease. Warne released a statement on Thursday, confirming the same.
“Shane Warne and his founders, which included 2 prominent WA surgical specialists, decided to stop production of their award-winning SevenZeroEight gin to shift to producing medical grade 70 per cent alcohol hand sanitizer until further notice,” the press release said.
“An agreement has already been made to provide a continuous supply to two nominated Western Australian hospitals at cost,” it further read.
Hand sanitisers have become essential commodities in present times where they are seen among the most important tools to battle the coronavirus. Warne, in a statement, admitted being delighted to see his company making the change for a much bigger cause.
