- The White House said it will distribute 400 million N95 masks for free beginning next week. The masks will come from the federal Strategic National Stockpile and be made available for pickup at pharmacies and community health centers nationwide. The initiative is the government’s biggest effort to get free masks to the public since the pandemic began. The administration also launched its website to sign up for free Covid-19 tests. COVIDtests.gov allows people to order a maximum of four tests that will be shipped directly to their households within 7 to 12 days. (Articles here, here, here, here, and here)
