Step 3: Continue rubbing with interlocked fingers.

Step 4: Rub the back of both hands with fingers interlaced.

Step 5: Rub the back of your fingers for both hands. Ball your hands into fists and rub in a downward motion, one side at a time.

Step 6: Rub the area between the index finger and the thumb.

Place your fingers together with the thumb sticking out.

Rub in a downward motion starting from the index finger to the thumb. Do for both hands.

Step 7: Bring the sanitizer down to your wrists. Cup your hands around your wrists and rub in circular motions.

On a side note, don't just rely on sanitizers. There are still many other preventive measures to protect yourself against COVID-19. 

The World Health Organisation (WHO) recommends to wash your hands frequently, practice social distancing, avoid touching your face, practice respiratory hygiene and seek medical help if you notice Covid-19 symptoms as part of the precautionary actions.
