Long Beach Airport Adds Vending Machine Which Dispenses Masks, Gloves
LONG BEACH (CBSLA) – In a sign of the times, fliers at Long Beach Airport who stop by the vending machine hoping for a quick snack will be in for a bit of a surprise.
The airport this week installed a new vending machine that dispenses personal protective equipment (PPE) to fliers.
The machine, stationed just ahead of the TSA area, offers face masks, disposable gloves and hand sanitizer.
Prices vary from $4 to $14.
All five carriers at the airport require passengers to wear face coverings before boarding.
Ontario Airport also announced Thursday it would be adding several PPE kiosks in both of its terminals.
As of Wednesday, the city of Long Beach had reported 2,783 coronavirus cases and 116 deaths from the disease.
