Just a heads up – this is from one of my glove suppliers:
Good Morning Janet-
As you are aware, the Disposable Gloves category has experienced volatile market conditions due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19). This has impacted the overall supply and created a sudden surge in global demand for all types of gloves including Latex, Nitrile, and Vinyl Gloves.
As a result of the rising costs and tighter supply in the marketplace, we are compelled to announce a price increase of up to 15% on all Glove Products. This increase will be effective with orders placed on and after June 1st, 2020. We will continue to monitor the situation and communicate further market dynamics related to price increases and supply. Please note that we will process regular order quantities based on the allocation amounts we have already set for you.

Chemical manufacturers are experiencing raw material shortages in addition to a huge surge in demand for product. All this equates to longer wait times for products.
Below is an excerpt from an article published in Chemical & Egineering News:
A little perspective from one of my suppliers:
I want to give you an example of what these manufacturers have on their plates. Clorox has their Total 360 disinfectant machine which uses their proprietary disinfectant. In March Clorox received orders for 70,000 cases of disinfectant. Their normal monthly demand over the last 3 years has been 800 cases. How long do you think it’s going to take them to catch up? I have heard many other similar examples with other pandemic product manufacturers. End users need to understand that the supply chain is so behind it will take months to recover. And we cannot provide ETA’s.
