I think its not because face shield is focusing in the eyes and nose and face.  Many of the article that i read face mask is the most important rather that the face shield because it covering the mouth.

Medical masks are surgical or procedure masks that are flat or pleated (some are like cups); they are affixed to the head with strapsa. Wearing a medical mask is one of the prevention measures to limit spread of certain respiratory diseases, including 2019- nCoV, in affected areas.

In fact, some experts claimed that the N95 face mask is not effective in controlling the spread of coronavirus. According to them, the inhalation of air can be filtered more than expiring it. It means that if an N95 face mask wearer is infected, it is most likely can spread the virus because of this reason. Moreover, face shield cannot protect us because it can only protect us from the possible respiratory droplets.

It is effective when you are in an area where you are constantly talking to people, but people are advice to combine face shield with face mask, because if you look at the design of the face shield you observed that there is a way virus can still pass through to the nose.

Wearing a faceshield is not effective in controlling the virus. But somehow, it can prevent from spreading the virus. There are some reports that although the person wears a faceshield, he/she are still infected by the virus.

I think its not effective alone but yes if it is used with mask then definitely could reduce the chances of COVID infection. Although it prevents the direct attack of someone's sneeze on your face but id you re not wearing a mask then eventually the droplets around will affect you in some time.

I guess it's not that safe as the face mask. It has an opening below and just like a visor from a helmet, it may add protection but it can't be used alone, face mask is still better to use rather than the face shield
