Surgical Masks for Essential Small Businesses

Over the weekend, the State of Connecticut and the Connecticut Business & Industry Association (CBIA) announced a program where businesses listed by the state as essential and with less than 50 employees are eligible to receive surgical masks to help ensure the safety and continuity of their operations. You do not need to be a member of CBIA to place an order. If your business is eligible and in need please follow the link and fill out the form. Any masks that are ordered will be distributed to your local municipality/EMD office this Thursday afternoon. Delivery or pickup will then be determined by the municipality. We suggest you place your order immediately to ensure you are included in the program.
