District Health Department #10 (DHD#10) announces that they have received a limited supply of KN95 masks from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) and have begun the distribution process to local area residents. 

 

DHD#10 is now distributing KN95 masks, 3 per person, at all 10 of their offices. Masks will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis while supplies last. DHD#10 will continue to order additional masks from MDHHS as needed but may run out of stock periodically. 

 

“Now that KN95 masks are available to the public in each of DHD#10’s offices, we encourage residents to stop by during regular office hours to pick some up,” said DHD#10 Health Officer Kevin Hughes. “Please know that supplies are limited and are only made available from MDHHS. It is possible we could run out and we ask for your patience and understanding. Wearing a mask indoors, in public places, is a very important step in preventing further spread of COVID-19 and its variants.”
