Over 3,000 KN-95 masks have been distributed to more than 200 journalists, those employed by media houses, and freelancers by the Media Association of Trinidad and Tobago.
The Association began distributing an allotment of 4,000 masks donated by SEWA TT on December 28th. In a release, the Association said they organised packages in response to requests received by media houses and media workers since the announcement of the donation.
The Association said it remains concerned about COVID-19 transmission, particularly the highly infectious Omicron variant, and encourages practitioners to use the best possible protective wear available during this time.
