Gloves only help if you don't touch your face when wearing them. If you're not used to avoiding touching your face (I had it drummed out of me when working in catering but have slipped in the 20+ years since then) then it doesn't matter whether you do it with a gloved hand or not. You might be more aware of touching your face if you're wearing gloves but it doesn't stop you from doing it.
Wearing gloves gives no more protection than washing your hands properly whenever you'd change the gloves.
The transmission isn't into your hands, it's from your hands and onto your face and into your body through mouth, nose or eyes. Wearing gloves doesn't do anything to prevent this.
If you pick up a dog shit using a gloved hand and then touch your face your hand may be clean but you've still got traces of dog shit on your face.

Gloves seem to be very effective at making people not bother woth personal hygeine.
Just watch at any street food place where they take cash with their gloves on.

I work in a lab and am very conscious when wearing gloves not to touch my face as my gloves have the potential to have nasty chemicals on them, I suppose a gloved hand touching money wouldn't quite have the same effect.

Surely gloves would protect them?
