Is anti-bacterial gel an acceptable substitute for handwashing?
Antiseptic waterless washes or wipes are not acceptable substitutes for thorough handwashing with liquid soap and warm running water except under very special circumstances when a disposable wipe may be used in order to avoid injury (e.g., a newborn baby with very little head control; a very heavy baby with little body control) or when necessary because running water is not readily available, such as wiping noses on the playground. Otherwise, hands must be washed under normal indoor conditions. If a sink is not accessible, this will affect scores.
