Tips to safely wear gloves: 1. Remove one glove first by pulling it off with your other gloved hand from the outside. Still holding the removed glove with your ...gloved hand, reach inside the glove with your free hand and remove by pulling it off, turning the glove inside out in the process. Wash your hands for at least 30 sec with soap and water. Dry thoroughly. Moisturize. 2. Dispose responsibly, the same way as face masks, in a closed bag in the non-recyclable waste bin. 3. Remember gloves do not replace the now-familiar protective & hygienic measures to wash your hands, keep your distance, and stay at home! #safehands #howtousegloves #flattenthecurve #coronavirus #COVID19
