    the swedish department of health says the opposite though, that you have to wash your hands with soap to affect at least some viruses.

      The WHO says the same. Soap is a surfactant, so the viruses will be mechanically removed from the skin, and flushed away by the water.

      My comment was meant to be in regards to sanitizing surfaces. I’m sorry if that was unclear.
