A completely planar, translucent, hand held protective shield to be held in front of one’s face to eliminate saliva and antigen transmission from person to person when in close contact when social distancing. The handle is copper clad to kill antigens including viruses. The material of construction is plexiglass so it is dishwasher safe. Anti-glare, anti-forging and anti reflective surface treatments may be applied to one or both the planar faces of the body.
