British Royal News is saying that Queen Elizabeth was pictured handing out honours at an investiture ceremony today wearing a white glove. It has become a tradition that the Queen didn’t have any gloves on to hand out the honours. Buckingham Palace refused to comment on the Queen’s choice of outfit or whether she had worn gloves in the past.
The decision to wear gloves quickly prompted many on social media to suggest whether she was doing so due to the risk of the coronavirus. Others on social media admitted that they weren’t surprised to see her wearing gloves, as she often does when attending events.

A picture from a ceremony last year showed that the Queen wasn’t wearing gloves on that occasion. There are now 51 reported cases of coronavirus in the United Kingdom, with a further 70 other countries also suffering from the illness. The World Health Organisations have already set out their precautionary steps to avoid the spreading of the illness.
They have encouraged people to wash their hands regularly, and also cover their mouth when sneezing or coughing. At this time, it hasn’t been confirmed whether the Queen was wearing clothes for hygienic reason surrounding the coronavirus.
