Main Line School Making Coronavirus Face Shields

MAIN LINE, PA — Another school on the Main Line has joined the effort to stop the spread of the new coronavirus by making face shields for front line workers.

Kohelet Yeshiva High School in Merion Station is using its 3D printers and laser cutters to make face shields for health professionals.

The school is taking ordered for face shields, now.

To request a face shield, email the school at faceshields@koheletyeshiva.org.

Requests will be prioritized based on location, proximity to the front line, and need

Regarding locations, priority will be given to local requests. The school will take requests from hard hit areas beyond the Philly region, as well. Priority for non-local requests will go to those who can arrange their own pick up from the school's campus.

Those making requests should specify what type of health professional they are and how closely they are working with COVID-19 patients and / or vulnerable populations.

"While we know that there isn’t a hospital in the country today that couldn’t use more PPE, we also know that there are places where every practitioner has at least one face shield and places where entire ERs are being asked to share just one," organizers said. "So please describe in just a sentence or two what the need is in your facility."
