We used the high concentration ratio in mosques, schools and administrative centers by mixing each liter of material with 100 liters of water, but in the streets we used the average ratio passing the two stages of washing and spraying chlorine material was the percentage of the sterilizer is the average is all 1 liter formolin with 200 liters of water."
