Abstract

The Coronavirus Disease of 2019 (COVID-19) that is transmitted through the human respiratory system has a very high infection rate worldwide, including Indonesia. To cut off this outbreak, Indonesia has implemented some social distancing strategies that have an impact on the significant decrease of economic growth rate and the increase of poverty rate. One way to prevent the COVID-19 transmission is the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) such as masks, face shields, and gloves. Although these products to some degree are effective in preventing transmission, several risks that may endanger its users, such as incorrect or excessive use, incorrect maintenance, bad PPE design, and others. — The need for personal protective equipment (PPE) in the form of face protection has increased sharply since the spread of the covid19. The existence of a face shield, even though it is not the only one protective device, is needed to support other equipment. Without the face shield, it will increase the likelihood the transmission of virus. The purpose of writing this journal is to explain the process of design to product manufacture.
