    Precautions make for the best protections. In the case of a coronavirus pandemic, this means the steady use of an arsenal of face masks, gloves and face shields, and practicing social distancing. No trip to the local grocery mart is complete without a walk down the aisles to restock on masks, gloves and sanitiser. Image Credit: Antonin Kélian Kallouche/Gulf News

    Gloves give the wearer protection from a range of bacteria, viruses and fungi. Gloves have been deemed compulsory in shopping malls, supermarkets and other social settings in the UAE, and we see these items becoming indispensable for all as we become accustomed to the ‘new normal’.
