    • In the community setting, there is no evidence to support use of gloves
    • In healthcare settings:
      • The use of medical gloves is recommended as part of standard precautions to reduce the risk of contamination of healthcare workers’ hands with blood and other body fluids including contact with non-intact skin and mucous membranes.
      • When indicated, use of medical gloves is recommended as part of contact precautions, to reduce the risk of pathogen dissemination to the patient’s environment, to other patients and for the protection of healthcare workers.
      • Taking into consideration the currently available types of gloves for use in healthcare settings, extended use, decontamination and reuse of single-use medical gloves is discouraged.
      • In the event of shortages, single-use medical gloves should be prioritised for use in healthcare settings.
  • ECDC is quite busy, and publishes this too: "Resurgence of reported cases of COVID-19" [2]
