taking such good precautions. It took quite a discussion to get the point across that'S in my op.

If you wear gloves, makes sure you are using them properly. Now that there's glove shortages, sanitize them, wash them, reuse them if at all possible. And then your hands too.

For things liked gas pumps, use a doggie poo bag, or get some inexpensive ones at the store vs gloves.
