The purpose of this instructions is to provide a solution to those interested to make a "phone booth" for Covid-19 test but can't find the long sleeve gloves needed.
I was looking for long sleeve latex gloves, one of the critical components needed to build the famous Korean "phone booth" for Covid-19 test. After search online and contacted many stores, distributors and even gloves factories, and realise that long sleeve gloves is in short supplies and expensive.
What I found plenty is the normal type which is elbow length. What I did was to cut off one of the pair at a point between wrist and thumb. Then both gloves were attached to a PVC band.
