More than 14 million non-medical face masks were handed out during the first phase of Alberta’s drive-thru distribution program.
The government announced Monday that no more masks will be handed out at A&W, McDonald’s Canada, and Tim Hortons drive-thrus until phase two in July.
“Thank you to all our partners for helping our government distribute millions of non-medical masks to every corner of Alberta. No other province in Canada has accomplished such a feat,” said health minister Tyler Shandro in a news release.” A program of this scale would not have been possible without your hard work and community support. We will continue to support Albertans as we move through stage two of relaunch, and people continue to get back to work.”
On top of the drive-thru program, six million masks have been or will be shared directly with municipalities, seniors organizations, Indigenous partners, places of worship and others.
