Nurses at one Bangkok hospital found a unique way to protect newborns and ensure they don’t catch the COVID-19 virus: face shields. Nurses at the Thailand hospital have been putting these tiny face shields on infants and the photos of the infants with the face shields are being widely shared on social media.
The images were taken in the nursery of Paolo Hospital in central Thailand.
