INL – International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory, is using its laser-cutting equipment to produce protective face shields, which are now being donated to several public and social institutions in Portugal and Spain to protect their front-line personnel against possible infection by the new coronavirus.

Volunteers from INL are working shifts to maintain this temporary production during the coming weeks.  They have also prepared a video explaining how these are fabricated, disinfected, and mounted.

A first batch of 1200 units was distributed to hospitals, nursing homes, and other social service institutions in the regions of Braga and Vigo.
