Free N95 Masks Arriving At Pharmacies And Stores Around The Country
Pharmacies And Health Centers Around The Country Have Begun Distributing The First Of The 400 Million N95 Masks The White House Is Sending Out To Combat The Fast-Spreading Omicron Variant Of The Coronavirus.
President Joe Biden Announced The Initiative Last Week, Sending Out Masks From The Strategic National Stockpile As Health Experts Stressed The Importance Of High-Quality Face Coverings To Protect Against The Omicron Variant.
"We Know That These Masks Provide Better Protection Than Cloth Masks," Dr. Tom Inglesby, The Administration's Covid Testing Coordinator, Said Last Week.
The Department Of Health And Human Services Said The Masks Would Be Available At "Thousands Of Pharmacies And Community Health Centers Nationwide."
The Agency Described The Effort As "The Largest Deployment By The Strategic National Stockpile To Date" And Said "It's Also The Largest Deployment Of Personal Protective Equipment In U.S. History."
A White House Official Said That Mills Civic Hy-Vee Of West Des Moines, Iowa, Began Distributing Masks Friday And That Hy-Vee Expected To Have Masks Available At Its 200-Plus Stores Across Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota, Missouri, Kansas, South Dakota, Wisconsin And Nebraska Soon.
The Masks Arrived With Flyers Encouraging People To "Mask Up And Maximize Your Protection."

It's Unclear How Many Have Been Distributed To Date.
Jeff Zients, The White House Covid-19 Response Coordinator, Said Late Last Week That "We've Already Shipped Millions Of These Masks Out And Across The Country, And In The Coming Days, Masks Will Begin To Be Available At Local Pharmacies And Community Health Centers."
