Abstract
The Center for Disease Control has recommended that the public should wear cloth face coverings in public settings. Face coverings and face shields can be made by using Commonly Available Materials (CAMs). As part of the Sandia COVID-19 LDRD effort (funded under the Materials Science Investment Area), the Sandia E-PiPEline task evaluated design options for face coverings and face shields considering their effectiveness, durability, build difficulty, build cost, and comfort. Observations from this investigation are presented here to provide guidelines for home construction of face coverings and face shields. This executive summary includes a brief roadmap of the analysis methodology, two one-page handouts geared to be distributed to the public at large (one for face coverings and one for face shields), and additional observations regarding potential solutions for face coverings and face shields included to further support the one-page handouts.
