The state of California has issues surgical masks and hand sanitizers to the state's small businesses at no cost. Here are the details via a press release from Community Development Services.
Community Development Services (CDS) in Kelseyville has been allocated 142,300 surgical masks and 8,100- 16.9 oz bottles of hand sanitizers to be made available to Lake County small businesses at no cost through the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (CalOES) in collaboration with the Office of the Small Business Advocate (CalOSBA). These State allocated surgical masks and hand sanitizers are intended to offset costs to small business for such supplies in maintaining compliance with State safety mandates related to COVID-19.

Once pick up locations are confirmed, we encourage all business associations to pass on this information to their members, so everyone can respond in a timely manner to CDS and the Lake County Chamber of Commerce.
