Powering Through The Pandemic: Project Shields On

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) are essential to protect doctors and nurses. They are our frontline “soldiers” against the ongoing battle with the Covid-19 infection. Most of us have seen videos of different hospitals needing to DIY their own PPEs due to a sudden shortage of supplies. CZipLee made the decision to start DIYing face shields for some local frontliners, and it wasn’t long before the project grew to encompass a bigger goal. Project Shields On was born.
