PARIS: A new research has revealed that wearing surgical masks and gloves might spread the coronavirus.
The medical experts had warned that using masks or gloves could increase the risk of becoming infected rather than preventing the virus.
The experts further explained that wearing gloves to prevent the virus was no use if people would not refrain from touching their face.
Through this practice, bacteria or germs enter the mask and gloves and later could enter the human body.
Experts had further advised that the best way to prevent the virus was to wash your hands on a daily basis with anti-bacterial soap.
The experts also advised that if a person was using the gloves then they should often wash it.
