ORLANDO, Fla. – With a mask mandate in effect for Orange County, officials on Tuesday organized a face mask giveaway for residents to help prevent the spread of coronavirus.The event was hosted by District 5 Commissioner Emily Bonilla, who helped distribute the masks from 10 a.m.
to 1 p.m. at the Goldenrod Recreation Center."Since we have a mandate now for people to wear masks, it's really good that we get these masks out there," Bonilla said. "It helps protect you and others."According to Bonilla, 500 cloth masks were donated by Million Mask Challenge and an additional 10,000 disposable masks were purchased through money from the federal CARES Act."Giving out these masks for free is something to relieve (residents) of that cost burden.
