The Equateur Province of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is grappling with an unidentified outbreak that has sparked global concern. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 1,096 cases and 60 deaths have been reported since January 2025. Symptoms include high fever, headache, chills, diarrhea, and respiratory issues (e.g., coughing, nasal discharge), with some cases accompanied by nosebleeds. While initial tests ruled out Ebola and Marburg viruses, investigations into potential causes—such as contaminated water sources or consumption of bat carcasses—highlight the urgency of containment.

In high-risk environments with unknown pathogens, medical-grade protective gear becomes the first line of defense. KINGFA MEDICAL emphasizes that professional-grade masks and gloves significantly reduce infection risks during travel or daily activities.

Gloves to Block Contact Transmission

In addition to droplet and aerosol transmission, contact with contaminated objects can also result in infection. In high-risk epidemic areas, wearing gloves can prevent direct contact with contaminated sources and provide safety protection during high-risk activities (such as assisting patients or disinfecting environments).

In everyday situations, gloves are not necessarily required, but they are indispensable in the following scenarios:

High-density areas: Areas with frequent human contact, such as train or airplane tables, armrests, etc., may harbor pathogens; visiting patients or immunocompromised individuals in hospitals or nursing homes can also reduce the risk of cross-contamination.

Special professions or activities: Healthcare workers, volunteers interacting with public items or serving others;outdoor adventurers, and campers dealing with wild water sources, raw food, or waste.
