Protection for Personel
To be used in combination with a normal face mask. Gives additional protection to workers and possibly lengthens the lifespan of the face masks. Can be cleaned. Not intended for use in hospitals, but aimed for the care for elderly and disabled etc, and in general for workers who need to face clients and do not have any protection yet.
Best set up as regional initiatives (maker communities) for localized production & distribution in the neighbourhood.
