As the coronavirus crisis continues to rage, it’s important we all take the most effective measures to help flatten the curve. That means, of course, to stay home and social-distance. However, there are going to be times in which people need to venture outdoors. Whether it’s just for some sunshine or to go grocery shopping, making sure you’re accomplishing those tasks as safely as possible is critical. In addition to cloth face masks, many people feel more safe wearing safety gloves, and for good reason.
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, it is not necessary to wear coronavirus gloves when going to the grocery store or going for a walk. Rather, they recommend wearing gloves when cleaning or disinfecting clothing or surfaces that may have been contaminated. You should also wear gloves when caring for someone who is sick.
