BACK TO SCHOOL Face Shields

Face shields are a simple solution that, if implemented correctly and widely, will have a major impact on slowing down the transmission of the COVID-19 virus. As South Africa prepares for learners to return to school in June the health and safety of teachers, school staff and learners has become a priority.

Putting measures in place

• Classes sprayed with a disinfectant spray.
• All learners and staff have their temperatures screened in the mornings before entering the school.
• Learners and staff must wash and disinfect their hands upon entering the school, entering and leaving a class, and before and after breaks with disinfectant hand wash or hand sanitiser.
• Learners and staff wear face shields that must be taken home and disinfected for the next day.
• Learners and staff wear cloth masks to cover their mouths and noses when not wearing a shield. These must be washed and ironed at the end of every day to ensure good hygiene.
• Learners must be educated about social distancing protocols. COVID-19 Prevention Posters and floor stickers help learners keep their distance from each other.

Back to School Protective Face Shields are re-usable, easily disinfected and have a flexible elastic strap for comfort. Made with Food Grade clear plastic which is easy to keep clean and lightweight to travel with, the shield provides a clear barrier in front of one’s face that doesn’t obstruct vision and allows learners the freedom to interact with their class safely.
