The Department of Health (DOH) and health experts reevaluate evidence on the protection offered by face shields, finalizing their recommendation on wearing such in enclosed spaces. However, a Health official said the use of goggles as a layer of protection against COVID-19 is part of the conversation. A report by CNN Philippines stated that Health Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire was asked if officials are considering recommending the use of goggles and double face masks instead of face shields. Meanwhile, the department will submit its updated recommendation on using face shields to the Inter-Agency Task Force.
