Upon receiving the masks, Turner expressed his gratitude towards the Ismaili community, which he says has always supported the Houston community in times of need. As the number of positive coronavirus cases rise in Houston, Turner has strongly encouraged residents to wear a mask in public spaces. “We are in a public health crisis now, and face masks can help reduce the spread of COVID-19 and save lives,” Turner said. As a part of the city’s overall response efforts to limit the spread of COVID-19, face masks will be distributed among Houston residents and first responders.
