Abstract Simple plastic face shields have many advantages compared to regular medical masks. They are easily cleaned for reuse and comfortable wear. In light of the spreading COVID-19 pandemic, potential as a substitution masks, recommendation general population, was tested. Testing efficacy protective equipment utilized cough simulator that carefully tuned replicate human in terms droplet size distribution outlet velocity. The tested worn on manikin head simulating breathing. An Aerodynamic...
