According to a new Japanese study, when it comes to defeating the spread of coronavirus, the plastic face ield is all useless.
The simulations were tested in clear simulations by the world’s fastest supercomputer, Fugaku, which found that airborne droplets less than 5% micrometers in size had escaped about 100% of opals, the Guardian said on Tuesday.
One micrometer is equal to one million of meters.
The restaurant, commonly used by workers in the restaurant industry, was also ineffective in trapping large drops of 50 micrometers – half of which managed to escape.

The study was conducted by Riken, a government-backed research center in Kobe, Japan.
To reach its results, the Fugaku simulation combined airflow with thousands of particles of various sizes.
Riken’s team leader Makoto Tsubukura said masks should be used regularly instead of facial shawls.
“Given the results of the simulation, the effectiveness of face guards in preventing the spread of drops from the mouth of an unfortunately infected person is limited compared to masks,” he told the Guardian.

Tsubukura said people who are not recommended to wear a face mask can donate ningal – but only if it is on the outside or in indoor settings with proper ventilation.
Fugaku has conducted other simulations, recently finding that face masks made from non-woven fabric are more effective in preventing the spread of Covid-19 than those made from cotton and polyester, the outlet noted.
Researchers at Duke University made similar findings last month, concluding that the N95 mask is the most effective but also the three-layer surgical mask and the cotton mask are good stand-ins.
