They are available to all Amazon associates, delivery service partners, Amazon Flex participants, seasonal employees, and Whole Foods Market stores employees, and we are requiring everyone to take and use them.\n\nAny N-95 masks we receive we are either donating to healthcare workers on the front lines or making them available through Amazon Business to healthcare and government organizations at cost.\n\nFor more information, read what SVP of Worldwide Operations Dave Clark wrote in his recent [update on how we're protecting our employees.](https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/company-news/update-on-how-were-protecting-employees)\n\n![2020-04-04 08.46.16-1.JPG](https://assets.aboutamazon.com/dims4/default/e3c6253/2147483647/strip/true/crop/2000x1500+0+0/resize/767x575!/brightness/8x0/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.aboutamazon.com%2Fe7%2F92%2F8d38970d4062adfee9b408070dec%2F2020-04-04-08.46.16-1.JPG)\nAmazon chartered this plane to fly in millions of masks that will be distributed to Amazon's U.S. employees.\n\n![2020-04-04 08.46.22-1.JPG](https://assets.aboutamazon.com/dims4/default/738c504/2147483647/strip/true/crop/2000x1500+0+0/resize/767x575!/brightness/7x0/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.aboutamazon.com%2F2d%2F68%2F68e78d1745eeb0a4430ff849ffe9%2F2020-04-04-08.46.22-1.JPG)\nAn Amazon charter aircraft arrives in Ontario, California from Shanghai, China on April 4, 2020, containing millions of masks to be distributed to Amazon's U.S. employees.\n\n![2020-04-04 09.10.19.JPG](https://assets.aboutamazon.com/dims4/default/b603443/2147483647/strip/true/crop/2000x1500+0+0/resize/767x575!/brightness/3x0/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.aboutamazon.com%2Fff%2Fd2%2F1be049c74496a8daf762608280fe%2F2020-04-04-09.10.19.JPG)\nCargo loaders in Ontario, California unload millions of masks from an Amazon charter flight from Shanghai, China on April 4, 2020.
