I recently worked a flight from ZZZZ to ZZZ. There were no masks on the plane just gloves and alcohol free hand sanitizer which doesn't protect against the virus. When we landed in ZZZ we were instructed to get off the plane; so the cleaners could come on. The cleaners only took garbage off the plane; but they were in full hazmat suits. It is highly concerning that it is necessary for them to be in full protective equipment for a 20 minute trash removal when we work a 10 hour flight unprotected. If we're gonna continue to be out working I would really like to see some improvements for the safety of our flight attendants.
Flight Attendant reported there were no masks on the plane for flight attendant use and was concerned that the gloves and alcohol-free hand sanitizer were not adequate as personal protective equipment.
