SCD has obtained some faceshields which offer a pretty basic level of protection against transmission of the coronavirus. The frame has been 3D-printed locally and the transparent shield is cut from an A4 acetate sheet which is normally used to create overhead projection transparencies. 
The shields are supplied in heat-sealed packs containing visor frame, 2 x transparent shield, and instructions. The packs are available from the shop, free of charge. We can print more if required.
Shields help protect the wearer’s face from body fluids such as coughs, sneezes and air-borne droplets. Users should use their own judgement as to whether it is adequate for the conditions. Better protection is obtained when worn in conjunction with a filter mask. Please be aware of the limitations of this form of PPE, but they but may be useful to folk that have to get closer than they wish to others for one reason or another.
