Since then, the virus has been rapidly spreading across continents, infecting over 20,000 victims and counting. While the government has been doing their part in controlling the spread, there is no denying that the citizens of the country are worried. When it comes to protection from bacteria and viruses, the go-to products are always the face masks and hand sanitisers. And this is indeed proven true as retailers and pharmacies have seen a sudden surge in purchases of these products. Because of this, the supply of these 2 products is failing to meet the demands of the buyers resulting in an islandwide shortage. But, are these 2 products the only method of protection?

To make your own room spray, simply fill an empty spray bottle with 3/4 distilled water and 1/4 witch hazel. Then add the desired essential oils of your choice.
