Wearing a mask may not be feasible in every situation for some people

August 15, 2020

According to the latest CDC guidelines published about protection against coronavirus (COVID-19), face shields may be a good alternative for people who are either deaf or hard of hearing.

Here are some considerations for individuals who must wear a face shield instead of a mask:

  • Although evidence on face shields is limited, available data suggests that the following face shields may provide better source control than others:
    • Face shields that wrap around the sides of the wearer’s face and extend below the chin
    • Hooded face shields
  • Face shield wearers should wash their hands before and after removing the face shield and avoid touching their eyes, nose and mouth when removing it.
  • Disposable face shields should only be worn for a single-use and disposed of according to manufacturer instructions.
  • Reusable face shields should be cleaned and disinfected after each use according to manufacturer instructions or by following CDC face shield cleaning instructions.
  • Plastic face shields for newborns and infants are NOT recommended.
