Free N95 Masks: When And How To Get Biden’s Free Masks

The Biden administration will make 400 million N95 masks available to Americans for free starting next week.

This latest federal step aimed at reining in the US’ Covid-19 surge.

According to a White House official, the masks, which are coming from the Strategic National Stockpile — will be made available at a number of local pharmacies and community health centers.

The official added that the program will be “fully up and running by early February.”

People looking to pick up the free masks will be limited to three per person, a White House official said.

“To ensure broad access for all Americans, there will be three masks available per person. In addition to this program, thanks to the administration’s efforts, these high-quality masks are in ample supply and widely available to American consumers,” the official said.

This scheme is on the back of an advise by The US Centers of Disease Control and Prevention who recently advised that well-fitting respirators approved by the National Institute for Occupational Safety & Health — such as N95 masks — offer “the highest level of protection” against Covid-19.
