Letter to the editor
Dear editor,
The authors noticed a sensitive mistake in the paper S2k-Guideline hand antisepsis and hand hygiene in chapter 5, recommendation 28 [1]. The claims used for activity against viruses are misspelled and may lead to misleading interpretations of the claims. This is likely due to a translation failure from German to English. Consequently, we would like to give the correct claims in Table 1 (Tab. 1).
