The most important thing to do, when out and about, is to wear gloves. As long as your wearing gloves, you’ll be fine.
For the most part.
No the AHA association guidance to medical workers is that if they wore gloves and gowns their liklihood of exposure was HIGH.
If they wore a mask and goggles but no gown or gloves, their risk of exposure was low.
The virus doesn't infect through the skin, unless you have an open sore. It can infect through the mouth, nose or eyes, or any body opening.
Gloves may protect you from picking up the virus from a surface, but only if you remember not to touch your face with your glove.
“The most important thing to do, when out and about, is to wear gloves. As long as your wearing gloves, you’ll be fine.”
This is incorrect. Gloves get contaminated like skin on your hands can. Once a glove is contaminated it is as bad as your hand being contaminated. It must be changed. Handwashing and not touching your face is far more effective.
Take it from me, I wear 15-25 pairs of gloves daily and wash my hands 50 times per day as part of my job taking care of people with illness.

As long as you don’t touch your face while still wearing the gloves. If you do that you might as well not even wear gloves — you’ve defeating the entire purpose of wearing them.
