Why Are Face Shields Important?

Why is it important for them to wear not only just face masks, but face shields as well? It’s because those that work in restaurants, retails and factories are also considered as frontliners providing essential services to the community and they are the ones who are interacting more with people and therefore are at higher risk of contracting Covid-19, which is why they should also be protected. On the other hand, as we try to go back to our normal routines such as slowly letting people to go back to work at the office or letting students and teachers go back to school, they can also use these face shields to stay protected as well.

Benefits of Face Shields:

Face shields provide better facial protection than face masks. Touching any surface that is contaminated with infectious droplets and then touching one’s own eyes, nose or mouth, is one way for COVID-19 infection to occur. Therefore, the key to avoiding infection is to use face shields as the clear plastic material that is attached to a strap or headpiece helps to cover the eyes, nose and mouth. It is easy to use and it works to prevent wearers from touching their faces.
