Medical-grade, full-face shields offer a number of advantages. They are comfortable to wear, protect the user from viral entry, and reduce the potential for autoinoculation by preventing the wearer from touching their face. People wearing face masks (covering the mouth only) often have to remove them to communicate with others; this is not necessary with a face shield. The use of a face shield is also a reminder to maintain physical distancing, but allows visibility of facial expressions and lip perception -making them ideal for communicating in a customer service, education or healthcare setting.
In a simulated study, face shields were shown to reduce immediate viral exposure by 96% when worn by a health care worker within 18 inches of a cough. After 30 minutes, the protective effect exceeded 80% and face shields blocked 68% of small particle aerosols which are thought to be a dominant mode of transmission of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19). When the study was repeated at the currently recommended physical distancing of 6 feet, face shields reduced inhaled virus by 92%.
