WAYNE COUNTY (WWJ) - City health officials are now making free KN-95 masks more accessible for Detroiters as part of the state's Mask Up, Mask Right campaign.

The Detroit Health Department has organized with Eastern Market Shed 3 and several recreational centers across town to distribute the free masks on Thursday from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. Each adult can get up to ten masks, which will be given out via a drive-thru service.

“We are urging all Detroiters to wear a KN-95 mask when they are out in public and continue to observe all safety protocols in order to protect against the spread of COVID-19,” said Chief Public Health Officer Denise Fair Razo in a press release.

“We also encourage you to get vaccinated and get your booster. The vaccines are safe, effective and remain the most important tool we have to help us get back to normal.”
