I do wonder about the hand sanitizer that celebrity were using as the alcohol based ones don't work very well against norovirus. Unless of course they are using something a bit different.

 

This from :-

 

A full minute of contact time with 70% ethanol is required to inactive Norovirus

Just had a quick look and the purell hand santizer brand is alcohol based with 63% ethanol
