Protecting the protectors


Full concentration: Ayesha keeping her eyes on her goal of making 300 face shields for frontline workers in a hospital in Ipoh.

IN the fight against coronavirus otherwise known as Covid-19, medical frontliners face a number of challenges, one of which is the shortage of personal protective equipment (PPE).

To help protect these healthcare workers, some Malaysians have banded together to produce homemade and improvised PPE for distribution to those affected by the shortage. Among the members of society who have stepped forward to lend a helping hand is 17-year-old Nur Ayesha Imani.
