• Masks:  

• More KN-95 masks have been distributed to Executive Team (ET) and Student Learning, Equity, Success (SLES) members and they will be distributing them to on-campus faculty and staff in their areas who need replacements.   
• Paper bags also were distributed to assist with keeping KN-95 masks clean and dry for reuse. Per the CDC, masks can be stored in a dry, breathable bag between uses. Masks can be used until wet or dirty.  
• KN-95 masks, as well as surgical masks, are available at Welcome Desks in the 1000/Admin, 5000/FOSS, and 4000/Library buildings for those who forget their mask. 

• Vaccines: some immunocompromised individuals should receive four doses of the COVID-19 vaccine, per the Washington State Department of Health.  
• Tests:  

• Federal guidelines on coverage of over-the-counter (OTC) at-home COVID-19 tests call for your health plan to cover the cost of FDA authorized OTC at-home tests without cost sharing during the public health emergency and without need for a provider’s order. The coverage started Jan. 15 and is not retroactive, meaning you will not be reimbursed for tests bought before Jan. 15.  
• The federal government is offering every home in the U.S. four free at-home OTC COVID-19 tests. To order for your household, visit the website here. 
• For the second time in less than two weeks, Washington state residents can go to www.sayyescovidhometest.org to order up to 5 free tests. Recipients will get those tests delivered at no cost, but only while supplies last. When more supplies become available, the state will open the portal again.
