An employee has a small cut on the back of the hand. They want to keep working with food. What is the correct combination of barriers?
a.Just a glove with no bandage underneath
b.A dab of antibiotic ointment with no covering
c.An impermeable bandage on the cut AND a single-use glove over the bandage

An open wound can release pathogens and pus. California requires the cut to be sealed with a water-resistant bandage and then fully covered with a single-use glove so nothing leaks into the food.
