WASHINGTON – The Biden Administration is planning on giving out over 400 million free N95 masks to Americans in the coming weeks and days. These masks are being directly supplied from the country’s strategic stockpile as the nation continues to battle the much more highly transmissive Omicron variant. 

This also comes just in time since the CDC has updated their guidance to recommend KN95 masks as the most protective against Omicron.

If you or anyone in your family wants or needs a free mask, please visit your local stores and pharmacies in the coming weeks.
