去杂货店应该戴手套吗?为什么医生说在冠状病毒期间不是个好主意
如果最近一想到去杂货店购物或去药店就感到焦虑，那么你并不孤单。随着COVID-19病例数量继续攀升，目前超过400000年报道我们大多数人都在采取预防措施以避免感染病毒。最近,疾病控制和预防中心修改了建议，包括外出时戴口罩。随着越来越多的人开始戴口罩，许多人不禁想知道是否也应该戴手套。
对于普通民众来说，答案是否定的。事实上，美国疾病控制与预防中心只在两种情况下建议使用手套:如果你是清洁和消毒你的家，如果你是医护人员正在治疗某人疑似或确诊的COVID-19患者。对于普通公民来说，手套并没有被建议作为预防COVID-19的措施，这在很大程度上是因为疾病是如何传播(和不会)的，杰米迈耶博士耶鲁大学医学院传染性疾病耶鲁医学院医学专家和助理教授说健康．
为什么手套不能为公众预防冠状病毒?
首先，快速回顾一下冠状病毒是如何在人与人之间传播的:“人们必须了解SARS-CoV-2，这是很重要的新型冠状病毒它是一种通过飞沫携带的呼吸道病毒，这意味着它需要进入呼吸道才能引起疾病，”迈耶博士说。“它进入呼吸道的主要方式是当人们吸入受感染的飞沫时。我们认为，当人们接触病毒生存的表面时，感染的比例更小然后触摸自己的脸。”
基本上，你不会仅仅通过接触感染COVID-19——它不会通过你的皮肤被吸收——为了通过接触感染冠状病毒，你必须接触被污染的东西，然后再接触你的脸。这就是让手套变得毫无用处的原因。迈耶博士说:“虽然手套似乎可以在你的手和受感染的表面之间建立一道屏障，但它们并不能预防COVID-19感染，因为你仍然可以用戴着手套的手触摸自己的脸。”
“手套是你的手和购物车或收银台的刷卡机之间的物理屏障，但手套本身就有细菌，”补充道马里兰州Niket Sonpal他是纽约的内科医生和胃肠病学家，也是Touro学院的兼职教授。
此外，当你戴或脱下手套时，你也会污染你的手。她指出:“由于这些问题，手套的保护作用并不比我们尝试过的保持社交距离、洗手和不触摸自己的脸等有效。”同样重要的是要记住，手套并不能阻止任何潜在的细菌随着你从商店买到的食物或容器带回家，“所以正确地清洁容器和食物是非常必要的，”桑帕尔博士说。
当然，戴手套也可能有实际的坏处:“(你)可能对社区弊大于利，因为你可能会把手套从医护人员那里拿走——它们是一种宝贵的资源，”迈耶博士说。
为什么医护人员需要手套，而普通大众不需要?
重要的是要记住，医护人员和其他医院员工接触的病毒数量更多，在医疗环境中，手套为患者和医生之间提供了物理屏障。“(它们)是额外的一层保护，因为我们是故意触摸和检查你的。”吉尔格兰姆斯医学博士，德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校学生健康服务的委员会认证家庭医生，以及《终极大学生健康手册:从宿醉到思乡的一切指南,他告诉健康．
“我们在进入病人房间检查病人时戴上手套，在离开房间前脱下手套，然后洗手。医生和护士不会在病人之间戴手套，”Sonpal医生补充道。“医护人员在检查所有患者时都戴上手套，无论是否有COVID顾虑，以保护医生和患者。我们不想把任何细菌从我们的手(或指甲等)传给你的身体，特别是当我们接触你的嘴、鼻子、眼睛或其他地方的时候，”她继续说。反之亦然。“我们不想暴露在来自潜在传染性皮疹或任何体液的细菌中，比如流鼻血或撕裂伤。”
迈耶博士还指出，在医院环境中，医护人员必须完成关于如何穿脱这些设备以及在每一步之间如何洗手的专门培训——这是大多数非医务人员不理解的。“护士和医生都明白，手套不是触摸你的脸的免费门票，”Sonpal博士说。
如果仍然想戴手套，如何正确佩戴和使用:
格莱姆斯博士说，如果戴手套在某种程度上让你感觉更安全，可能还会提醒你不要触摸自己的脸，那么这样做对你自己并没有真正的伤害。她说:“诀窍是要记住手套只能保持双手清洁。”这意味着，即使戴着手套，你仍然不能触摸到自己的脸，当需要脱下手套时，你要正确地取下手套。戴手套也不能让你在脱下手套后就不洗手，你仍然需要用肥皂和流动的水洗手至少20秒。
如果你戴着手套去商店(或者，如果你在给家里消毒的同时照顾一个病人)，根据一份声明，你需要采取一些非常具体的步骤来脱掉手套疾病控制中心网站上的信息图表：
- 双手仍然戴着手套，抓住或捏住靠近手腕的手套外侧，但不要接触裸露的皮肤。
- 把手套从身体上剥下来，取下来的时候把它翻过来。
- 用还戴着手套的手握住脱下的手套。
- 把你裸露的手从戴手套的手的手腕袖口下面滑过去。
- 把手套从身体上剥下来，在取出手套的时候把它向外翻。(“最后两只手套都是反着戴的，一只套在另一只里面。”
- 妥善处理手套——不要重复使用。
- 用肥皂和流动的水洗手至少20秒。
但请记住，戴手套不应取代你已经采取的任何其他预防措施。根据美国疾病控制与预防中心的规定，这包括适当的社交距离、自我隔离、自我隔离，以及在必要时佩戴口罩。
