Anonymous donor provides enough KN95 masks for all Oklahoma teachers

More than 600,000 masks are being delivered to every school district in Oklahoma, enough to provide four KN95 masks for every teacher and school staffer.

The mask delivery is made possible by an anonymous donor, according to the Oklahoma State Department of Education.

“Masks are important in our arsenal of successful COVID-19 mitigation strategies,” said State Superintendent Joy Hofmeister. “We are extremely grateful to this donor for prioritizing our hard-working school personnel who have been on the frontlines of this pandemic.”

The donation includes 400,000 KN95 masks, 60,000 adult surgical masks, 104,000 youth masks for ages 6-12 and 50,000 masks for children up to 5 years old.
