These include additional cleaning efforts, social distancing markers, mask requirements throughout travel and hand sanitizing stations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In June, YKM received more than 12,000 cloth masks for airport tenants, passengers and visitors to help slow the spread of COVID-19, and in compliance with face covering requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Peterson said Alaska Airlines is committed to continued cleaning measures, such as \u201cNext-Level Care\u201d cleaning procedures.
