sanitizer stations

Public cleanliness points

Sanitizer stations are dispensers of hand sanitizer placed in public or shared spaces for convenient access.

They became ubiquitous during the COVID-19 pandemic, appearing at building entrances, elevator banks, and checkout lines: There's a sanitizer station by the door.

The term typically refers to the freestanding unit rather than just the dispenser itself.
