I was chatting to a friend and he mentioned his wife made him up some hand sanitiser. I'd previously noted people using disinfectants and thought I'd share what I knew, as he knew less.
With a few questions I determined his wife had made up his hand sanitiser using Dettol.
In terms of Dettol being effective against the novel coronavirus they makers can’t yet say because the strain of coronavirus virus is so new.
The Dettol site says it should be based on past experience with the group of viruses called coronavirus, but can’t yet say without testing for the novel coronavirus (COVID-19).
At this point in time I’d stick with the known recommendation of using an alcohol based sanitiser just to err on the side of caution.

The following article explains why the Dettol packaging can refer to coronavirus before the outbreak of the novel coronavirus.

The World Health Organisation has issued a publication for location production of "handrub", although the recipe is for large quantities.

There you go, now you know what I know. Hope it helps in some way.
