In addition, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II for the first time in ten years held the traditional presentation of awards in gloves.
Note that Buckingham Palace does not say whether gloves are really a way of protection. It is possible that the queen put on gloves exclusively as an accessory. However, against the background of an increase in the number of people infected with coronavirus, the first option seems quite likely.
