KINGSFORD – The Dickinson-Iron District Health Department has received additional protective masks, available free to the public.

“In an attempt to ensure everyone has an opportunity to acquire KN95 masks who want them, we ask that residents pick up one pack of five masks per person while supplies last,” said Jessica Perry, emergency preparedness coordinator.

The Dickinson County health office is at 818 Pyle Drive, Kingsford. The Iron County office is at 601 Washington Ave., Iron River.

The state health department is sending the stronger masks to health agencies across Michigan.
