ABSTRACT
We implemented universal face shield use for all healthcare personnel upon entry to facility in order to counter an increase in SARS-COV2 cases among healthcare personnel and hospitalized patients. There was a marked reduction of infections in both healthcare personnel and hospitalized patients between pre and post intervention. Our results support universal face shield use as part of a multifaceted approach in areas of high SARS-COV2 community transmission.
