Disposable Gloves

Wearing disposable gloves when out in public or in contact with someone who could be infected is a good way to help prevent the infection by the coronavirus. This should be in combination with consistent hand washing/sanitising, practicing social distancing and self-isolation where possible.

Anyone can catch and spread coronavirus and therefore it is important to get the vaccine when offered to protect yourself and others.

Wearing disposable gloves when leaving the house can help prevent infection as well as washing your hands regularly.

The NHS website has information about the latest Coronavirus news, it is helpful to read this information to ensure you are doing as much as possible to protect yourself and others.

When you buy disposable gloves online or through your local pharmacy, you still need to be washing your hands thoroughly and consistently. This is an essential form of protection and prevention of the virus, especially before eating or touching your mouth or eyes.

You should make sure you cover your mouth and nose when sneezing and make sure to wash your hands after.

If you know someone who has the flu, or you are worried they might have coronavirus you should maintain a physical distance to decrease the risk of infection and advise them to take a lateral flow test.

Everybody is affected differently with the coronavirus, however if you have:

• A cough, high temperature or shortness of breath (even when mild)
• Loss of smell and/or taste
• Been in close contact with someone with confirmed coronavirus

This may mean you have coronavirus at which point you are advised to order and take a PCR test as soon as possible. Do not go to a GP surgery, pharmacy or hospital. If you are concerned about these symptoms or are unsure of what to do call 111, stay indoors and avoid close contact with other people.

You can find information about what to do if you think you have the Coronavirus on the NHS website.
