Visors supplied as a kit
Danish health authorities have tested these protections in two hospitals, says BFM Business. Following the results, the government placed an order for 50,000 visors at Lego. If necessary, the toy giant said it could quadruple its production. The factories that the company operates in Monterrey (Mexico) and Hungary could, if necessary, be called upon to meet demand.
The visors are supplied as a kit. It is therefore up to the users to assemble them. The photos posted on Instagram show that the accessories look like very tall glasses. It is a transparent protective screen provided with a branch which, once worn, extends from the forehead to the cheeks.
