Detroit is providing 20,000 surgical face masks to bus riders free of charge following the death of bus driver who died from the coronavirus.
"We have to care for and protect our neighbors," Duggan said in a statement."One of my biggest issues is the busses and we are taking this measure to protect both the drivers and those who ride the bus."The mayor said at a press conference on Tuesday that the masks were not needed by medical workers.
"The hospitals have to have the first priority, but these were masks that weren't needed at the hospitals," he said."We ask every single rider, if you don't have a mask before you get on the bus, please take one."
