DAVIS, Calif. — The city of Davis is giving away free boxes of disposable, non-surgical face masks to residents and businesses on Thursday, Oct. 22.

The city is partnering with the Healthy Davis Together Initiative and UC Davis to provide the masks in order to prevent the spread of COVID-19. The goal is to "facilitate a coordinated and gradual return to regular City activities and reintegration of UC Davis students back into the Davis community," according to a press release.

"Welcoming Aggies back requires collaboration and detailed planning," Healthy Davis Together Initiative said on their website. The initiative also says that the community coming together to combat COVID-19 is integral in bringing the students, staff and faculty back to campus and into the city.

Face coverings are an important way to slow the spread of COVID-19. Free boxes of non-surgical disposable masks will be distributed on Thurs., Oct. 22, from 11 am - 2pm at the Davis Police Dept. at 2600 Fifth St. All Davisites are encouraged to stop by. pic.twitter.com/mlo5miWBfL
