The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says face-shields as an important form of protection against coronavirus, which is primarily transmitted by droplets in the air.

Face-shields can prevent these droplets from reaching a person’s face. They can also prevent people from physically touching their face, which is another way this novel coronavirus is spread.

Face shields offer more effective protection against coronavirus than masks and should be worn by the public whenever they leave home, according to US physician and epidemiologist Michael Edmond.

Edmond, an infectious diseases physician and hospital epidemiologist in Iowa City, USA, has been advocating the use of face shields on his blog.

He believes the simple devices are more effective than masks at protecting the eyes, nose and mouth from Covid-19 infection and praised efforts by architects and designers to manufacture the devices as "one of the silver linings of this pandemic".

"I think every person should have a face shield," Edmond told Dezeen. "It should be worn anytime they leave their home, while in any public place, and even at work."

"I believe that if every person wore a face shield when out of their home, we would bend the curve faster and return to normal life sooner."

In the Los Angeles Times, Dr. James Cherry, a UCLA infectious diseases expert, said supermarket cashiers and bus drivers who aren’t otherwise protected from the public by plexiglass barriers should actually be wearing face shields.

Face shields are more effective than masks in protecting the wearer from viral infection, Cherry said.
