Dettol liquid is good antiseptic mainly for bacteria and cleaning skin and wound. It contains 13% alcohal which is less than recommend concentration of 70% to kill viruses. Since it is new virus so I will advice use hand sanitizer having seventy percent alcohal however cleaning bathing purpose you may use as per instructions written in leaflet but for corona use alcohol based sanitizer good soap and masks thx

No sir. A medical grade hand sanitizer contains atleast 60-95% alcohol. Please don't try making a sanitizer at home, alcohol is a highly volatile substance. And dettol contains chloroxylenol, which is mostly effective against bacteria, NOT viruses. Besides, ingestion of dettol is injurious to health.
Next Steps
Get a medical grade hand sanitizer from the pharmacy.

No. If u r at home then soap is the best. Wash ur hands with soap n water (rub ur hands with soap at least 20 seconds). If u need to use sensitiser then use which has at least 65% alcohol content
