If you are at least 65 years old you can obtain a free face mask aimed at preventing the spread of COVID-19.

The Arizona Department of Health Services, in an effort to ensure everyone in the state has access to face masks, has teamed up with Hanes to provide reusable, washable cloth masks. Besides people 65 and over, others who are especially vulnerable to the virus can obtain the masks. Each order comes with five masks and there will be one order allowed per household. Cloth face coverings prevent the spread of respiratory droplets and can prevent you from contracting COVID-19 from other people.

To order a mask, visit azdhs.gov or call 602-542-8664.
