Wearing a protective gear is mandatory so that health workers can avoid being infected with the novel coronavirus when they come into contact with high-risk cases. The gear makes health workers sweat profusely in this hot weather. The thermal shockproof T-shirt meets the urgent requirements of frontline doctors and nurses to freshen up.

The thermal shockproof T-shirt does not interfere with the design of the protective gear. The dry ice bags in the shirt weigh some 500 grams and are wrapped by a layer of insulation foam with a thickness of 1cm to prevent the ice from directly touching the human skin. They are also placed in a zip bag for water proofing. (Photos: phapluatxahoi.vn)
The National Hospital of Traditional Medicine said that the thermal shockproof T-shirt can be effective in 6-8 hours that is the duration of a shift. The hospital will quickly coordinate with the relevant units to produce the shirt in large quantities. (Photos: phapluatxahoi.vn)

The thermal shockproof T-shirt fits inside the protective suit and does not hinder the activities of medical staffs, helping them to cool off. (Photos: phapluatxahoi.vn)
