Victorians will be able to score free N95 and KN95 masks to help stop the spread of COVID-19 and I’d politely like to request the other states introduce similar initiatives. Give me my free masks please!
The free masks are available from August 9 and more than three million are set to be handed out over the next couple of weeks.
They’ll be distributed at state-run COVID testing sites, on public transport and at various community orgs, including multicultural and multi-faith events, Aboriginal gatherings and at some disability service providers.
According to the Victorian Government, anyone that rocks up to get a free PCR test or RAT in the next four to six weeks will score a box of 10 N95 masks.
We're making N95 masks free – starting today.
Over the next few weeks we'll be handing out over 3 million free N95 and KN95 masks at testing sites, on public transport and through community health services.
