COVID-19 Alert Did you know? Hy-Vee, CVS, Walgreens and Walmart Pharmacies may soon be receiving N95 masks to be distributed for free. If you do not have access to a fitted N95 or KN95 mask, your best bet is to wear a disposable procedure (surgical) mask under a cloth mask to prevent transmission of the Omicron COVID-19 variant.
See the information below from the CDC. Need surgical masks? Call Jill at 624-2773 .
