ITSPP Director María Jesús Reyes Ortiz detailed the donation aims to ensure first responders are better prepared to address medical emergencies and care for possible Covid-19 patients in the community.  She added this first donation is just a part of the 250 face shields they hope to make, 200 of which will be donated to the Health Sector, and the remaining 50 for ITSPP staff.

As printing material for the face shields on the ITSPP 3-D printer is time-consuming, Director Reyes Ortiz stated they decided to donate the first 10 shields immediately and would be donating more in coming days.
