It's all part of a summer #MasksOnMaryland campaign. On July 29, they distributed 3,000 masks at the first event at the Baltimore Convention Center testing site.
"There is increasing evidence that masks help prevent people who have COVID-19 from spreading the virus to others," said MDH Secretary Robert R. Neall. "Marylanders can protect themselves and the people around them by wearing a mask in public places."
