Pres. Biden and the White House are going to make 400 million N95 masks free for Americans starting next week. This move is meant to lower the number of new cases every day in the country. Covid-19 has started spreading like crazy recently, partly due to the emergence of the new variant, Omicron. A White House official said the program will be fully ready by early February, and the masks will be in pharmacies and community health centers. The mask limit per person is 3 each. According to the CDC, N95 masks are the best out of all masks of protecting against Covid-19. The US has 750 million masks stored right now, so this 400 million will be over half of the entire stock. The government also launched a website to order free Covid-19 at home tests, and the limit is 4 per person.
