A protective shield configured to be disposed over an N95 respirator worn by a user includes piece of material defining a body, a flap, and a living hinge interconnecting the body and the flap. The flap is foldable relative to the body about the living hinge to fold under the chin with the body extending across the face. The body includes a center portion, from which the flap depends, and first and second wings extending laterally outwardly in opposite directions from the center portion. The body further includes a protruding portion extending vertically from an upper end of the center portion of the body opposite of and in vertical alignment with the living hinge. The protruding portion defines a V-shaped cut-out to facilitate bending of the body about a centerline of the center portion to enable conformance of the body about an N95 respirator and a user's nose.
