“Most often its young children who’ve gotten hold of the hand sanitiser and have ingested some, now for a child under three if they have swallowed about a teaspoon of the proper hand sanitiser they can become symptomatic, the hand sanitiser at this time of coronavirus is our flag to protect the children,” says Director of Poison Information Centre Dr Cindy Stephen.

“The minute you keep it out of its original container and put in a glass jar that has no name on it or an interesting container, the child will be immediately be attracted to it,” says Baker. With families confined to being together during this lockdown period, the hospital is calling for extra vigilance.

Manager of Social Work Services Carla Brown says the period might be difficult on some families, who might resort to alcohol in order to cope. “As the hospital we make an urgent appeal that adults refrain from using alcohol, you cannot be supervising your children appropriately if you are under the influence of alcohol and drugs. We ask that you always make adult supervision with all your children,” says Brown.
