We’ve been doing the mask debate for months now. Some of us can wear them effortlessly while others…ehhh, well. Whether we like it or not, wearing masks aren’t going away anytime soon.
A face shield
A face shield is a curved plastic or Plexiglas panel attached to a headband or a reading glass frame that can be worn over the face. It should fit securely so there isn’t a gap between the band and the forehead. The shield should also extend beyond the chin. Normally worn over a face mask for more effectiveness.
Is wearing a mask is effective in preventing COVID-19?
An experiment using high-speed video found that hundreds of droplets from 20 to 500 micrometers were airborne when speaking a phrase, but that nearly all droplets were blocked when the mouth was covered by a damp washcloth. Another study of people who had influenza or the common cold found that wearing a surgical mask significantly reduced the amount of these respiratory viruses emitted in droplets and aerosols. Washable face masks do this job for us. But wearing a face shield increases security from droplets.
