They’re going to make shields for local health care workers on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Brock University Makerspace recently got the green light from Public Health.
Coordinator Tabitha Lewis says they should be able to produce 20 per day once they’re up and running.
They’re going to use their 3D printers to create the head mounts and they will be able to attach thin plastic shields.
The first round of shields will be going to Niagara EMS.
