Zakai Care is proud to be producing face shields to fight COVID-19
As parents, teachers, students and administrators puzzle over how to open school with the coronavirus potentially in every classroom, Dr. Will Sawyer of Sharonville, Ohio says he has the answer, and it’s not cloth masks.
Sawyer is pressing for universal adoption of clear, plastic shields that protect the whole face. “If we stopped self-inoculating (with the virus), this pandemic would be over in three weeks,” he said.
The advantages of shields, Sawyer said, are many: They can be cleaned and reused indefinitely. They’re comfortable to wear and don’t interfere with eyeglasses or hearing aids. They don’t get in the way of nonverbal communication. Most important, Sawyer said, “They keep your 10 deadly enemies away from your face – your fingers.”
Face shields are common elements of the personal protective equipment that health care workers don while treating patients suffering from COVID-19, the illness that can result from infection with the new coronavirus.
While there is little research directly comparing shields with masks, shields perform impressively in simulations. An April 29 analysis in the 
Journal of the American Medical Association by infectious disease doctors in Iowa found that in a test of droplet spread, “Face shields were shown to reduce immediate viral exposure by 96% when worn by a simulated health care worker within 18 inches of a cough.”
When the study was repeated with six feet between the cough and the shield, “face shields reduced inhaled virus by 92%, similar to distancing alone, which reinforces the importance of physical distancing in preventing viral respiratory infections.”
Schools across the region and nationally are struggling to develop policies to permit safe openings next month. Public schools in Dayton, Ohio, will allow students and teachers to wear masks or shields. But Cincinnati Public Schools, will require everyone to wear a cloth face covering, period, even if someone also wears a face shield.
Shields are “truly the answer to reduce a lot of the angst and complaints,” Sawyer said.
