MANILA, Philippines — A group of teachers from Occidental Mindoro have sewed face masks and crafted improvised face shields to be distributed to frontliners dealing with the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) crisis.
Photos of the teachers making the protective equipment were posted on the Facebook page of the Department of Education on Tuesday.
According to DepEd, the initiative is part of the “Gurong Nasa Bahay, Inyong Karamay,” project aimed at protecting frontliners from the viral menace.
Other groups have likewise launched initiatives and programs to extend due assistance to medical and other frontliners leading the charge against COVID-19.
