Swapping handwashing for sanitiser partly to blame for Victoria’s gastro outbreak – The Guardian
Experts warn hand sanitiser less effective on gastro virus, as cases continue to spread in childcare and early education centres
People using hand sanitiser instead of rather than as well as washing their hands have in part been blamed for an outbreak of viral gastroenteritis in Victoria.
In March, Victorian health authorities warned gastroenteritis cases were up four-fold from the five-year average. On Monday, the Department of Health said viral gastroenteritis was continuing to spread, with 389 outbreaks in childcare and early education centres so far in 2021 an increase of 140 on the previous month.
