DOTr Shares How To Make DIY Face Shield
FACE SHIELD – The Department of Transportation (DOTr) shared an instructional video on how to make a DIY (do it yourself) face shield.
The government and health officials urged the public to wear face masks and face shields to protect themselves against COVID-19. These protective devices should be worn at all times to prevent transmission.
Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) Secretary Eduardo Año advised poor families to wear face masks even at home. In a report, Mindanoeños flexed their Bamboo face shield on social media.
On Saturday, August, 15, the Department of Transportation (DOTr) shared how to make your own face shield in just ten seconds on its Facebook Page. Wearing this protective device will soon be required in establishments. The instructional video was originally posted by Pumapapel Crafts.
“While there’s no substitute for proper medical equipment, it’s a good idea to have even a little additional protection than to have none at all. This is best used in low-risk environments, for grocery shoppers, employees, elderly people, and as a last resort when you have no other PPEs.”

“Hindi po natin kinakailangang gumastos ng mahal. Marami sa mga materyales na kailangan, nasa paligid lamang natin,” DOTr said.
