Rubbing alcohol has easily become one of the hottest commodities amid the coronavirus disease pandemic, so much so that groceries and drugstores ran out of supply, and, in the midst of crisis, opportunistic individuals slapped unreasonable markups on it.
To address the surge in demand, Green Cross, Inc. has announced the continued production of its products.
“We are working very hard despite having limited manpower and materials. Our production lines are working longer hours as we try to meet the unprecedented demand,” says Green Cross president Michael Co.
Co, however, urges the public to “do their part” in ensuring the availability of alcohol by not hoarding and limiting purchases to two bottles as recommended by the Department of Trade and Industry. He also reminds the public to practice regular hand washing.
Green Cross declares that it would see to it that more products will be delivered to hospitals, health centers, and store counters in the coming days, and appeals to various government authorities to ensure the passage of their employees, supply trucks, and delivery trucks so that this can happen.
“We are all working hard to make sure that the supplies needed to combat the spread of the virus are readily and sufficiently available for all, especially for our tireless health workers and other frontliners,” Co says, adding that Green Cross will also continue to donate alcohol to government hospitals and health centers for their use.
Green Cross shares it has also been making arrangements to ensure the health and safety of its employees by providing them with transportation, staff accommodations, meals, vitamins, alcohol pumping stations, and frequent sanitation.
