GEORGIA — Some 400 million N95 masks will be available for free to all Americans beginning next week.
The masks will be released from the Strategic National Stockpile and will be available for pickup at local community health centers and pharmacies, the Associated Press reported.
Details of the plan — part of a broader administration program to blunt the spread of COVID-19 — were still emerging. The White House is expected to announce formal details about the distribution plan Wednesday. In general, the N95 masks will be available for pickup late next week at pharmacies and health centers in Georgia that partnered with the federal government's COVID-19 vaccination campaign.
