Amid the coronavirus outbreak in Israel, Economy Minister Eli Cohen requested that the price of hand sanitizer not exceed NIS 9.90 per 100 milliliters.
Rami Levi, Shufersal, Be, Yohananof, Yeinot Bitan, Victory and Super Pharm will sell hand sanitizer for the new price. Other chains may sell the product at this price as well.

"Producers of the product stressed today that there will not be a shortage that will not allow continued production," the Economy Ministry said. "But there is high demand, which has led to the product disappearing from shelves – although it will still be provided to stores in the coming days."
