Confidence is being expressed that the new face shield will reduce the chances of the medical personnel, attending the Coronavirus patients, contracting the infection. DRDO, who has developed this face shield, has already developed sanitisers, critical care ventilators, masks and body suits.
There is going to a massive demand for the PPE, given to the rising number of Coronavirus cases. Therefore, DRDO is taking all the possible initiatives. The face shield is the result of the same initiative.
