The coronavirus outbreak has had a great impact on high street shops and supermarkets, with some UK stores reporting shortages on products including soap, anti-bacterial wipes and hand sanitiser.
Until new stock arrives, shoppers in some areas might be hard-pressed to find the items they need on the high street.
But some big brand retailers have hand sanitiser available online, reports the Manchester Evening News .
After a search on the internet for the cheapest, branded or own-brand hand sanitisers, this is what was found.
Amazon
Amazon shoppers can currently buy one of the site's best sellers - a six-pack of 50ml Cuticura antibacterial gel tubs for £8.94 (£1.49 each).
One 100ml tub of Cuticura Original will cost shoppers a whopping £31.08.
And two 50ml Dettol hand sanitiser tubs are selling for £24.99.
A selection of lesser-known brands of hand gel are also listed on the website but in many cases postage costs more than the price of the product.
Superdrug
Online, Superdrug customers are able to add several hand sanitisers into their shopping baskets.
Some of the high street retailer's antibacterial hand gels have also been discounted from £1.05 to 51p.
The website is also currently stocking popular brands of sanitiser including Carex and Cuticura.
And scents range from strawberry and raspberry to sherbert lemon.
Some of the cheapest products currently available to add into your online basket include:
- Superdrug Strawberry & Raspberry Antibacterial Hand Gel 50ml - 51p
- Superdrug Aloe Vera Antibacterial Hand Sanitiser Gel 100ml - 61p
- Superdrug Sensitive Antibacterial Hand Sanitiser Gel 100ml - 61p

If you want to get your hands on a tub of pocket-sized hand sanitiser online - you'll have to act fast as products are likely to sell out quickly.
While Amazon and Superdrug seemed to be stocked up on selected brands of hand gel - other retailers are still waiting for their deliveries.
Here's what was found at Asda , Tesco , Morrisons , Boots and The Body Shop.
Asda
Asda is not currently advertising hand gel on its website.
But there are a selection of antibacterial hand wipes including a pack of 40 Kleenex Water Fresh wipes priced at £1 or a variety of 12 wipe packs of Wet Ones priced costing £1 or £1.50.
