Reactions to CDC Recommendation for N95 and KN95 Use

The CDC now recommends that people in the US upgrade from cloth masks to N95 and KN95s. We are seeing several reactions to this recommendation.

• Fake and inauthentic masks continue to be an issue, with scammers trying to profit off a pandemic.

• 3M now requires distributors to verify bulk sales go to businesses and healthcare providers to prevent unsavory characters from hoarding masks and price-gouging customers. 

• The federal government will offer individual households up to three N95 masks per month through local pharmacies and community health centers. Distribution methods are still being finalized. 

• We anticipate this will impact the supply chain and manufacturers' work to fulfill increased demand. Get ahead of the supply crunch.
