Information on the use of gloves in the control of influenza remains limited. The CDC and WHO have not issued statements recommending a particular material (vinyl, latex, nitrile) or grade (examination, general purpose) with regards to the Swine Flu.
Glove users should continue to follow local state and FDA regulations. Please consult your state health department for specific recommendations and regulations specific to swine flu.
In the last 24 hours we have been inundated with stories about Swine Flu and the potential for a pandemic. As new information becomes available, we will continue to provide updates via our web site to help educate our customers and the public in protecting against the spread of this influenza.
