Gloves, even if they do nothing else, act as a strong reminder not to touch your face. Breaking that habit alone can strongly reduce your risk of transmission.
- notacoward 7y agoAlso to change them (and/or wash your hands) if you touch your face anyway, or forget and sneeze/cough into your hands, etc. They're often brightly colored to reinforce this "reminder" function. They certainly don't have to be. Pretty sure their natural color would be off-white or grey.
- remmargorp64 7y agoYou know what else stops you from touching your face? A face mask.
- ncallaway 7y ago...ok? I was more responding to the person about gloves, but what you say is also true.
- remmargorp64 7y agoJust trying to combat all of the people discouraging face mask use, since apparently everyone in America is of the opinion that face masks are useless.
