At the hospital where I work, face shields are preferred over medical grade masks, mainly because they keep you from touching your face. We now wear face masks and shields, according to CDC guidelines.
We got a couple of face shields through Amazon. It’s a kit you have to put together. I wish I had known that beforehand. The instructions in the package were not helpful and the picture guides on Amazon were not much better, but they at least got me started.
I put a few scratches in the plastic cover while putting one of the shields together. I did a little better with the second shield. I’m hoping that wearing these out in the community won’t become part of the new normal.
