A cook has a small infected cut on a finger. What is the correct way to allow this cook to continue working with food?

An infected wound or lesion containing pus on the hand must be covered with an impermeable (waterproof) bandage and then a single-use glove or finger cot, because Staphylococcus aureus in the wound can contaminate food. A paper towel is absorbent, not impermeable, so pus and bacteria wick straight through it even under a glove. Leaving the cut uncovered gives the food no barrier at all, and extra handwashing does not contain an infected lesion; the wash itself can also irritate the wound and spread the discharge.
