Face Masks and Coverings
Georgetown BID Free Face Mask Assembly
The Georgetown BID has started distributing two types of free masks throughout Georgetown – one of which requires some quick assembly. Those single-use masks were made by Under Armour specifically for our region and Johns Hopkins. They are a woven material typically used as the filter inside their sneakers, and have better filtration.
