Abstract:
COVID‐19 pandemic issues are discussed in chemical science intuition which highlights the direct role of chemistry to the ongoing global pandemic by covering chemical preventive measures. Chemical preventive measures such as soap, water, hand sanitizer, disinfectants and personal protection equipment (PPE) were reviewed as the only available options in the arsenal to fight against COVID‐19 despite the availability of COVID – 19 vaccines. The present review focused on the mode of action for both sanitizer and soap water to inactivate the virus and their effectiveness.
