With cases of COVID-19 on the rise again, Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days is a great opportunity to get ahead of the curve by stocking up on N95 and KN95 face masks, COVID tests as well as severe cold and flu medication to help protect yourself and your loved ones and prepare for the possibility of contracting the virus. Now that new variants like the Eris and Pirola strains are thought to have spread nationwide, Prime Day October is a great time to invest in restocking your home supply of face masks, replace your expired COVID tests and more.

In Oregon and across the nation, the N95 and KN95 medical masks that experts have said offer the best protection from the virus are now well-stocked on Amazon. Here are some of our favorite deals:
• This 50-pack of Funight KN95 face masks are currently the best-rated and best-selling disposable face masks on Amazon. They are climate pledge friendly and perhaps the best part about them is that you can purchase the regular variation, or purchase a version that is slightly smaller for adults with small faces. Either 50-pack options sells for under $25.
• These HUHETA KN95 face masks are comfortable, easy to take on and off, and come in a variety of cool color options and a 60-pack of these masks sells for under $20.
• If you like other color options, this 50-pack of YIDERBO multicolor KN95 face masks are equally well-rated and selling for under $15 with free shipping.
• If the above styles don’t fit your face very well, these LEVENIS KN95 masks offer a different profile and are extremely well-rated as well as being cost-effective at $24.99 for a pack of 50 masks. They also have size options for small faces and for children in several different colors.
• Acutal N95 particulate respirator masks are often a little harder to put on and take off as they fit over the top of the head, but they are the technically the best rated for protecting you and others from the virus. They have to be specially certified and pass rigorous testing as well, so they tend to be more expensive. These AccuMed BNX N95 masks are NIOSH Certified, USA made and currently sell for $23.99 for a pack of 20.
In addition to masks, it may be a good idea to stock up on COVID-19 tests as well, some of which you can get for free from the U.S. government as they restart the website allowing Americans to order free tests.
• The popular BinaxNOW COVID-19 tests are on sale for just $15.88 for a box including two tests. If you want to save a little money, you can buy a box that has four tests for just $29.99 and that comes with free two-day shipping if you are a Amazon Prime member (sign up for a Amazon Prime 30-day free trial). If you buy these tests at a local store in person, these two-pack BinaxNOW covid tests can cost you around $24 at Walgreens, CVS and other local stores. Buying them on Amazon saves you quite a bit of money and a helps you avoid a trip to the store.
If you do test positive for COVID-19 and are experiencing symptoms from the virus, Tylenol Cold and Flu Severe (for adults) works wonders in mitigating the aches, sore throat and cough that many have experienced after contracting the virus. The Amazon Basics version of this same medicine in gel cap form is on sale for Prime Big Deal Days for about $10. You can also get discounts on other Amazon Basics versions of popular medicines like DayQuil and NyQuil, nasal spray and more to help you cope with the symptoms of the coronavirus. If you want to save some money, you can buy the Amazon brand Basic Care Cold and Flu Relief, Daytime and Nighttime Combo Pack Softgels for under $11. Also, a bottle of Amazon Basic Care Acetaminophen Nighttime Caplets is selling for just $6.
