Health Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire was asked on Monday if officials are considering recommending the use of goggles and double face masks in lieu of face shields.
"Iyan talaga ang direction ng paguusap. Primarily kaya natin minandate na ang face shields ay gamitin natin for us to protect our eyes because there are evidence to state na ang COVID-19 can also penetrate ang eyes natin at pwede tayo maimpeksyon," she said in a media briefing.
