Care should be taken to maximise the use of personal protective equipment in the laboratory to preserve the supply chain, particularly during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic.7,8 To our knowledge, no guideline has been published on how many times gloves should be changed without obvious contamination between laboratory samples; discretion must be used in this regard (Figure 1, number 6).	cache/ajlm-1786.htm	txt/ajlm-1786.txt
