Starting Wednesday, D.C. residents will be able to collect up to 10 free child-sized KN95 masks at the city’s official COVID Centers, Mayor Muriel Bowser announced today.

Residents will have to provide proof of D.C. residency to collect the free masks, which will be available at locations in all eight wards. The COVID Centers also provide vaccines, booster shots, rapid COVID tests, PCR tests, and masks for adults.

The District is the first locality in the Washington region to provide child-size KN95 masks for free to the public; other local governments are providing free masks, but only in adult sizes.

The announcement arrives on the same day D.C. officially suspended its indoor mask mandate. Face coverings are still required inside schools, childcare facilities, libraries, nursing homes and other congregate settings, medical facilities, taxis and rideshare vehicles, some D.C. government buildings, and on mass transit. Private businesses are also permitted to require masks at their discretion.

Mayor Bowser said Monday that her administration has not yet decided when it will roll back the mask requirement for D.C. public schools. Virginia reversed an in-school mask requirement statewide, effective today; Montgomery County’s school system is expected to vote on its mask policy March 8. Prince George’s County could lift its school mask requirement by the end of the school year.

Parents across the region — and the country — have been frustrated by delays affecting vaccine availability for children ages 5 and under. The earliest parents can expect a shot for young children is April, the Food and Drug Administration said last month.
