“Compared with face masks and other personal protective equipment (PPE), glove supply was never an issue, even at the beginning of the pandemic in the country.
“Most hospitals usually make frequent purchases in volume and have ample supply since its usage is regular.

“If it has to remain closed for many months, things may be different, ” he said, adding that there were many other glove makers who could step up to meet the demand.
