On Saturday morning, DeKalb County Police and Fire Rescue cadets passed out masks and sanitizer in areas where they’ve seen the most cases pop up.
The effort was a directive from DeKalb County CEO Michael Thurmond, who said the health department had been overwhelmed by calls from people wanting masks and sanitizer.
DeKalb County Fire Chief Darnell Fullum thanked cadets and trainees who volunteered to pass out the items. The cadets and trainees will be giving out 10,000 COVID-19 care kits over the next six weeks.
“We’re going to engage these citizens,” Fullum said. ” We’re going to offer them this kit so that they can be as safe as possible. “We’re still encouraging people to remain 6 feet apart and we’re asking them to wash their hands.”
