A total of 1 million face masks were recently provided to local businesses throughout Bexar County.
KSAT reports the initiative was in response to a new executive order requiring the use of face coverings for employees and visitors of all commercial entities in the county that provide goods or services to the public.
“No business should have to turn away a customer for not having a facial covering,” Bexar County Judge Nelson Wolff told KSAT. “Distributing these masks will not only help to prevent community spread COVID-19 cases, but will alleviate some of the pressures our business community faces while trying to reopen safely and caring for their staff members.”
Businesses had to register for the distribution events and masks were distributed on a first-come, first-serve basis. Each business received 100 donated masks.
Masks were distributed at the Freeman Coliseum and BiblioTech South.
