In addition to the mouth-nose-coverings more and more people now seem to be on a different protection access: the so-called Face Shields. Face Shields are made of plexiglass and fastened with a rubber band at the forehead. It is questionable, however, whether they offer more security than an ordinary mouth-nose protection.

In the case of aerosol transmissions, so suspended particles in the air, bring Face Shields “as good as nothing,” he wrote. In cafes, for example, if the operation is wearing a Face Shield, guide this the aerosols may have “targeted on the cake and the guests”.
