COVID-19: UC Berkeley students making hand sanitizer for people and places in need

A pair of UC Berkeley students has taken to producing more than 100 gallons of free hand sanitizer each week to give to homeless shelters, jails, medical centers and other Bay Area places that have run out during the novel coronavirus pandemic.

Berkeley graduate student Abrar Abidi and his colleague, research assistant Yvonne Hao, began making hand sanitizer after Abidi saw that multiple staff members at the San Francisco County jails had tested positive for the coronavirus at the end of March.
