Another batch of N95-type filtered masks will soon be available to businesses with 50 or fewer employees that continue to operate. It’s the second round of masks made available by Daviess County Fiscal Court.
Beginning at 8 a.m. Monday, qualifying businesses needing masks can schedule a convenient pickup time by contacting Karla Riney at 270-685-8456. Companies must provide a current copy of their Owensboro/Daviess County occupational business license.
Each unit will cost $1.79 and contain 5 masks, and they will be distributed on a first-come, first-serve basis. The pickup location will be the Daviess County Operations Center.
“We’re trying to help small businesses,” said Judge-Executive Al Mattingly. “It seems like large businesses are able to get most of the stuff they need like this.”
The masks are not N95 surgical masks, but are still good quality for businesses to use, Mattingle said.
“I think even as things start to open up, you’re still going to have people in these businesses who are wearing masks,” he said.
