WASHINGTON — The Biden administration will make 400 million N95 masks available for free at thousands of locations across the country, a White House official said Wednesday, as health experts stress the importance of high-quality face coverings to protect against the omicron variant of the coronavirus.
The plan consists of working with pharmacies and community health centers to distribute the nonsurgical masks, which will come from the Strategic National Stockpile. The administration will begin shipments this week and hopes to have the program fully operational by early February, the White House official said.

Dr. Tom Inglesby, the administration's Covid testing coordinator, said in an interview, "We know that these masks provide better protection than cloth masks."
The N95 masks will be made available to everybody, and recipients will not be prioritized based on vulnerability to Covid, income or other criteria. Individuals will be limited to three masks per person to ensure broad access to the program, the White House official said.
Inglesby said the administration was "confident that people who want to access them will be able to access them."
The White House website to order free at-home Covid tests went live Tuesday. The website says: "Every home in the U.S. is eligible to order 4 free at-home COVID-19 tests. The tests are completely free. Orders will usually ship in 7-12 days."
Inglesby said the new approach to providing masks and tests is part of a longer-term strategy to bolster supplies well beyond the omicron variant, as public health officials acknowledge that the virus may require prevention, mitigation and treatment in addition to vaccines.
Some public health experts have criticized President Joe Biden for not doing more to encourage people to wear N95 or KN95 masks rather than less protective cloth masks as Covid hospitalization numbers have spiked because of the highly contagious omicron variant.

Up lên để bà con lưu ý ... bây giờ trên mạng bán rất nhiều Mask giả..... chính phủ phát loại N95 bên ngoài cũng ít bán, nếu dược thì nên đi lấy cho gia đình dùng.
