Lincoln County will once again distribute face masks to county citizens to help curb the spread of coronavirus COVID-19.

The masks to be distributed are surgical-type KN95 masks, which may fit slightly differently from N95 masks, but function in the same manner.

The masks were provided to the county by the Mississippi Emergency Management Association.
