Will You Wear a Face Shield?

The coronavirus has brought us to a new “normal”. We don our Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) whenever we go out in public. For the vast majority, the phrase PPE means a cloth face mask. Less well known but included in this category is another option, face shields.


In fact, some experts are suggesting that face shields are a better alternative to cloth face masks. They provide better overall face protection. They are more comfortable. And, as ASAP is showing, they are affordable and not just for medical providers.

Take a look at this recent New York Times article for more information.
