Yes, shoes and coats off in the hall and then hands washed, and face, especially if you touched it

Gloves do not help. They harm because they prevent you from washing or sanitizing regularly.

If you wear gloves on a trip to the store they transfer just as much stuff to and from everything you touch as your skin would. If you wash your hands on the way in and out of the store you are doing just as much as gloves. Sanitize once or more during the trip and you have done more. Plus anything you pick up gets preserved on the gloves rather than going down the drain or being neutralized by sanitazer.

If you keep them on when loading your groceries you are risking contaminating the goceries again and if you take them into your car or home you have basically preserved any contamination you may have touched and vcd re touched with them. Most people don't take them off correctly and decontaminate.

Wash and sanitize regularly while out. Wash when you get home.

@MsAl A. I do know how to remove gloves properly, and how to wash and decontaminate them in the same way as hands. B. Wearing gloves does not also prevent you from washing your hands, but it does give protection for the hands when you can't wash them. C. Most stores in Britain do not provide for outside hand washing. D. They act as a reminder not to touch your face, as does a mask.

@MsAl I only wear gloves in the store, and keep them on until I unpack stuff in the house, then I thoroughly wash gloves hands as if they were my bare hands, then remove them. Perhaps just a "blankie", at least.

@AnneWimsey you are collecting all the stuff throughout the store and bringing it into your vehicle then your house. Not to mention repeatedly touching all your stuff with those gloves throughout the process as you put it in your cart, pack it up and unpack it.

If you were to wash your hands when you get home it would be just as good. Better because you are getting rid of the germs instead of putting them in the trash. If you put all the groceries away with those gloves you are actively touching all the things again and the inside of your house with those gloves. Sorry but it is worse than nothing at all at that point.

Sanitizing your hands will give you a clean slate as far as Covid19 goes. Doing it a few times throughout your trip and definitely before you get into your car and house is much more effective than wearing gloves.

@Fernapple You are right it does help remind you not to touch your face.
Beyond that the gloves make absolutely no difference in transferring the virus around between changes. We don't have outside wash in the US either but stopping in the bathroom and washing at the end gets rid of everything you got from inside. Hands free exit if possible. I use 70% rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle since hand sanitizer is hard to come by now. Unless you change the gloves multiple times while shopping and before entering your car again at the house and then before unpacking the sanitizer is more effective against Covid19. It gives you a "clean slate" much more often.

@MsAl A. If gloves make absolutely no difference. Why are they included in hospital PPE wear ?
B. What relevance does any of this have to a comment about what you should remove on entering the house anyway.

@Fernapple
It is relevant on a comment about gloves because they do more harm than good (for reasons I explained above). People are not aware of that so they are actually putting themselves at greater danger by using them in this manner.

You are right in your original comment. I would be much more worried about wearing the gloves into the house than the shoes. If you don't take them off before you enter your house you are bringing everything you touched right in with you.

In a hospital they are used briefly during individual tasks to prevent contaminating wounds, or to prevent being exposed to bodily fluids. Or for dignity when cleaning or examining private areas.
I work in a hospital/nursing home. I go through 20-100 pairs a day. I've been thoroughly educated on correct usage.
Wearing them throughout a grocery trip makes no sense.

I guess groceries weren't specifically mentioned but assumed because that's all we are allowed to do here, and I see people wearing gloves while doing it. Then getting into their cars without removing them.

@MsAl Main reason I wear gloves is to keep my hands warm, its cold out.

@AnneWimsey That much the same as me.
