NGO, netizens design face shields for health workers thesundaily Covid19 KitaJagaKita

Concerned about the safety of health personnel following the shortage of personal protective equipment , several quarters have taken their own initiative to design and make their own face shield for use by frontline personnel in addressing the Covid-19 outbreak in the country.

“The supply of face shields in hospitals and health facilities is running low, and it may take a long time to order, as well as involves high cost. So, we are called to create our own DIY face shield, which will not only save time, but also cost, said its chairman, Dr Tengku Ahmad Damitri Al-Astani Tengku Din toHe said 15 Papisma members and a few volunteers comprising the local community, got together since three days ago to make the DIY face shields.

Over the past few days, health care providers have been worried about their health due to the shortage of PPE to be used in the handling of Covid-19 cases. The community, established last March 22, now has 697 members who have contributed various ideas and prototypes for face shields.
