During the epidemic, wearing masks and hand hygiene are two things that are deeply rooted in people's minds. In addition to masks, hand sanitizers, and hand-free sanitizers, which are in short supply, disposable gloves are also entering people's homes. Disposable gloves are made from disposable glove machines.
Whether on the street or in the hospital, you can often see people wearing disposable gloves for protection. However, can disposable gloves really reduce the risk of contracting the new coronavirus?
According to the China Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CCDC), the main routes of transmission of the new coronavirus are droplet transmission and contact transmission. Droplet transmission refers to direct inhalation of droplets containing the virus causing infection, called droplet transmission, which can be prevented by masks; contact transmission refers to shaking hands or touching surfaces contaminated with the virus, and then hands touching the eyes, nose and mouth causing infection, called contact transmission, which can be prevented by washing hands with soap (soap) and running water, or hand-free sanitizer.
Disposable gloves play an important role in the clinical prevention of cross-infection, so for the general public, is it possible to play a role in preventing infection?
Wearing gloves, the hands are playing a good protective role, will not come into contact with those bacteria and viruses, and also do not have to wash their hands frequently or disinfection, saving a lot of trouble. However, although the hands are clean, the outside of the glove is stained with a lot of dirt.
When wearing gloves, do not wear gloves to touch your face. Disposable gloves give us an illusion of "safety", often see people still wearing disposable gloves, to sort out hair, glasses, blowing nose, adjusting the position of the mask and so on, but these dirty things to our body. At this point, there is no point in protecting your hands. At the same time, do not repeatedly use disposable gloves. For example, when wearing gloves, the phone rings, take off the gloves to answer the phone, and then put on the gloves again, so that the hands are easy to become dirty.
In addition to wearing gloves, there are also a lot of instructions when taking off gloves. First, care should be taken not to let the outside of the glove touch the skin. For example, to take off the left glove, you should use your right hand to grab the outside of the left glove at the wrist without touching the skin, take this glove off and turn out the inner layer of the glove. Hold the removed glove in the right hand that is still wearing the glove, then put the fingers of the left hand along the wrist of the right hand into the inside of the glove, turn out the inner layer of the second glove and wrap the first glove inside before throwing it away.
"Disposable gloves should not be reused, and washing our hands after taking them off is a more reliable way to ensure the hygiene of our hands." The new coronavirus is relatively contagious, and contact transmission is an important mode of transmission, so people need to pay attention to wearing masks and hand hygiene when they go out. Currently, the NCDC does not recommend that the public apply disposable gloves to prevent transmission. The need for protection can be met by washing hands regularly or using hand-free sanitizer.
If you are unsure and want to use disposable gloves, you must also be careful not to touch your face with dirty gloves and be sure to wash your hands after taking off your gloves.
