Do face shields protect against COVID?
Excited to share our newly published research showing that use of face shields by health care workers was associated with reduced COVID infections!
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1201971221001466 - Association Between Universal Face Shield in a Quaternary Care Center and Reduction of SARS-COV2 Infections Among Healthcare Personnel and Hospitalized Patients - ScienceDirect
Highlights
• SARS-COV2 transmission to healthcare personnel (HCP) and hospitalized patients is a significant challenge
• We implemented universal face shield for all healthcare personnel upon entry to facility
• Our study showed that universal face shield use was associated with marked reduction in infections among HCP and hospitalized patients
( I wear a face shield when I go to any doctor's appointments and I wore one when I was vaccinated. Glad to see that it makes a difference.)
