Where to Buy Face Masks From Austin Restaurants

Fabric face coverings — non-medical-grade face masks, bandanas, scarves, etc. covering people’s mouths and noses — are still recommended in Austin in response to the novel coronavirus pandemic. This recommendation applies to people performing essential activities (medical visits, picking up and buying food and household items from grocery stores and restaurants, walks for fresh air), essential workers (including restaurant staffers), and people frequenting reopened businesses and services. To help people find masks, several Austin restaurants are now selling fabric face masks to the public:

Current patterns include American flags and ducks. It’s available for contactless pickups, with curbside options.
