Local businesses keep kids safe

Coffee and donuts on clays mill road in lexington closed today after one of its barista's tested positive for the virus, according to a post on its facebook page.

So, the business is being deep cleaned for the protection of staff and customers.

There's a company in bourbon county that's in the business of protecting people from the virus...specifically at schools.

Abc 36's christy bollinger shows you what the company is doing.

We've seen a lot of creative safety features during this pandemic..

Chris horn/ceo- cwf"we switched over from signmaking and laser cutting to making face shields for toyota.

" c-w-f products in paris then began making face shields for the state..

Moved on to sneeze guards and shields to help businessses...and now... lasor cutting desk shields for students.

Horn"it's a thrill to see somebody come in here and want this because they want to get back to school they want to get back to a normal life and then being able to make something that will help them be able to do that is very satisfying."

Christy"these desk shields are laser cut right here at cwf products they're lightweight and customizable..

Can fit to any desk."

The desk shields have double sided tape to keep them from falling off.

And people are interested... the company has been contacted by several schools, including colleges.

St.

Mary school among them.

St mary principal/ miranda"we're looking at face shields as well as the desk shields as an opportunity for our students to come and be closer with faculty members and other students but still have a barrier and some separations and added protection."

Kids safe in school..

It's what the whole country is trying to achieve.

Horn"the only drawback right now is schools don't know what they're gonna do.

But if they make the decision to go back we're gonna be able to mass produce these pretty quickly and get em together and ship em out at a very efficient cost."

Which has given many teachers and parents peace of mind, horn"we've had several parents ask for their own so their kids can take these to school put them up in two minutes and have them up on their desk if the school doesn't buy them for them."

Desk shields..

The school supply of 2020.
