The face shield developed by Apple is composed of only three parts, and according to Cook CEO, it can be assembled in less than two minutes.
First, align the band on the head with the hole in the face shield ...
It is completed if you pass the strap.
By changing the length of the strap, it fits everyone's head, and the distance between the face and the face shield can be adjusted by shifting the hole in the band and the shield.
The completed face shield has already been delivered to a medical institution in Santa Clara, California, and the response from medical staff was 'very popular'. Cook also said that FaceShield would be produced at a pace of one million per week and delivered to U.S. healthcare facilities, and eventually to areas outside the U.S. That is.
Cook said in a statement, 'This is a love and appreciation job for Apple, and we hope to continue to do more over time.'
