So far, the Colorado State Emergency Operations Center has delivered 672,750 masks. Four shipments are complete; another six are expected.

In July, Gov. Jared Polis announced that Colorado would provide one medical grade mask (KN95) per week for staff members in any K-12 public school, private school, charter, district and facility school who work in-person with students.  

Masks will be delivered once a week for 10 weeks.
