My county along with Chautauqua and Allegany Counties partnered with Jamestown Plastics to develop a face shield that would be reusable for first responders, health care, and such. Jamestown Plastics went beyond the call to assist. They worked 24hrs a day for a week to come up with a prototype for us to view. Once we received the prototype it was tested and approved by our medical directors and we placed our order. Initial production was estimated at 2000 per day and a few days later it went to 60,000 per day. Once our order was placed, we had the Face Shields in hand within 3 days. My County Cattaraugus ordered 6000 and my counterparts ordered 3000 ea. We cannot say enough about Jamestown Plastics’ commitment to this project and their willingness to help the First Responder and Health worker community. This is a really great story that has come out of this COVID 19 Pandemic.
