How come there hasn't be a recommendation to wear regular gloves outside? As long as you wash the gloves in soapy water, you'll kill the virus and

keep it off your hands.

are you using your feet and mouth to take off the gloves or something?

I counted how many times I washed my hands at work last night, after changing the gloves

625 times. And that's during five hours of work.

Can't you just dip the gloves in soap water? Then you don't need to change them.

No you can't.

The gloves have tiny pores, germs can travel through them. Soap isn't shown to be effective in sterilizing disposable gloves and you're increasing your risk of contamination. And you be taking germs from one place to another.

You have to use your own hands to remove gloves, so your hands are contaminated regardless.

Just wash your hands according to the proper steps and avoid touching face while out.

Even better don't go out unless necessary.
