\n Plastic face shields are all but useless when it comes to protecting the spread of the coronavirus, according to a new Japanese study.<\/p>\n

The clear coverings were tested in a simulation by Fugaku, the world\u2019s fastest supercomputer, which found that nearly 100 percent of airborne droplets less than 5 micrometers in size escaped through the shields, the Guardian reported on Tuesday.<\/a><\/p>\n

One micrometer is the equivalent of one-millionth of a meter.<\/p>\n

The shields, typically used by workers in the restaurant industry, were also ineffective at trapp<\/a>ing larger droplets measuring 50 micrometers \u2014 of which about half were also able to escape.<\/p>\n

The study was conducted by Riken, a government-backed researcher center in Kobe, Japan.<\/p>\n

In order to reach its results, the Fugaku simulation combined airflow with thousands of particles of various sizes.<\/p>\n

Makoto Tsubokura, a team leader at Riken, said regular face masks should be used in lieu of face shields.<\/p>\n

\u201cJudging from the results of the simulation, unfortunately the effectiveness of face guards in preventing droplets from spreading from an infected person\u2019s mouth is limited compared with masks,\u201d he told the Guardian.<\/p>\n

Tsubokura said that people who are not recommended to wear face masks could resort to donning shields \u2014 but only if they were outdoors or in indoor settings with proper ventilation.<\/p>\n

Fugaku has conducted other simulations, recently finding that face masks made out of non-woven fabric are more effective at preventing the spread of COVID-19 than those made of cotton and polyester, the outlet noted.<\/p>\n

Researchers at Duke University made similar findings last month, concluding that N95 masks are most effective but three-layer surgical masks and cotton masks are good stand-ins, as well.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
