Apple has unveiled its design for a face shield to protect health workers fighting coronavirus, which it is producing in the millions. The piece of PPE designed by Apple is made of three pieces – the face shield, forehead strap and silicone strap. Instructions on how to assemble the shield have been posted on Apple’s website along with an informational video. Apple’s shields can be assembled in less than two minutes and are fully adjustable. They can be worn in two ways, regular fit and extra space.
Face shields are designed to offer protection from fluids that may contain the coronavirus, however they are designed to be worn with a face mask and other protective clothing.
