According to the Palm Beach Post, The Palm Beach Police Department has responded to more than 130 violations of town ordinance warnings since special measures were taken by officials to contain the spread of the coronavirus in town.

Some distilleries around the country, including one in South Florida, are converting their alcohol production into creating their own hand sanitizers.

Steel Tie Spirits in West Palm Beach is doing just that and donating them to hospitals, first responders and retirement homes.

Ben Etheridge, the co-founder of the company, says they are selling hand sanitizer to the general public for $10. Proceeds from those sales will help offset the costs for the distillery.
