Abstract
. In humans, the coronavirus can cause respiratory tract infections which are generally mild, like flu from the symptoms. The general public thinks it is only a common cold. However, for health workers, this virus is classified as dangerous and deadly. The government provides preventive steps to stop the spread of COVID-19, namely washing hands. This hand sanitiser product contains antiseptic properties used to kill bacteria on the hands, consisting of alcohol and triclosan. Questionnaire-based research was conducted to focus on empowering millennial attitudes and knowledge about the use of hand sanitisers during the COVID-19 pandemic. A total of 250 participants participated in the discussion via the Whatsapp group. However, the respondents in this study were only 96 respondents for the pre-test and 32 respondents for the post-test. The results showed that there is still a need for education to the public about hand sanitisers.
