British-made Virustatic Shield supports Britain’s businesses through lockdown and beyond with business donate scheme

It’s no secret that businesses in the UK’s have had a tough ride this year, but with a second lockdown in place and further tiered restrictions being outlined, the makers of an innovative face covering that uniquely blocks, captures and disables respiratory viruses on contact, are helping to protect the nation’s retailers, shop owners and business employees.

The Virustatic Shield Business Donate Scheme is supporting those that have remained open and on the front line, as well as those reopening as the UK emerges from lockdown measures.

Thousands of Virustatic Shield face coverings will be donated free of charge to independent traders and small business up and down the country as they provide essential services to Britain throughout winter

Businesses can apply for a free donation by visiting https://www.virustaticshield.com/donation-scheme/

Nick Smith, Managing Director at Virustatic Shield said:

“The Virustatic Shield was researched, developed and is manufactured in the UK and we understand the value that UK business owners will be contributing to society as we go through another lockdown.

“As a British-made brand, we want to support and celebrate the UK’s entrepreneurial spirit by helping as many small businesses as we can.

“Our face coverings provide 99% virus protection thanks to a patented protein coating called Viruferrin™️, which is naturally antiviral, antibacterial and antipathogenic.”

In a recent survey conducted by Virustatic, 43% of Brits would trust British products more than imported products.

The snood design is lightweight and breathable, it sits around your neck and can be raised whenever you need it, to cover your nose and your mouth, providing 360 ° protection. It can be worn comfortably all day long, and the single layer material snood design supports effective communication, which is essential for customer facing staff. During the first lockdown, Virustatic Shield donated well in excess of 7,000 of its innovative face coverings to keyworkers across the country, including those at the Moelfre Lifeboat crew.

Vince Jones, full time lifeboat mechanic for Moelfre, said: “The Virustatic team has been fantastic in supporting local emergency and key workers during these difficult times and their kind donation of Shields to our volunteers were used on the front line when our lifeboats are called into action during the COVID-19 pandemic.”

He added: “The Virustatic Shields will not only provide additional protection to our volunteer crew and shore crew but also to those who we may be called out to rescue. They will also provide peace of mind for our team while carrying out essential maintenance or repairs on our lifeboats ensuring they remain ready to go at all times.”
