UPShield face shields protect workers' eyes, noses, and mouths and are designed to be worn with a surgical mask underneath. The shields help protect those treating coronavirus sufferers, guarding the eyes and face against potential infection from the coughs and sneezes of patients.

The face shields are best used as an extra layer of insurance over top of other protective gear. They could prevent already limited supplies of masks and goggles from being depleted as quickly. But these shields are needed not only for those who are taking care of patients but also the administrative staff who meet and greet patients.
