CORONAVIRUS | The wearing of surgical gloves by the public as protective gear against Covid-19 is not recommended as they can do more harm than good, according to the Malaysian Medical Association (MMA).
The MMA in a statement to Malaysiakini said wearing gloves risk triggering "a false sense of security" to a point that other safety precautions are ignored.
