More than 27,000 union members will have the option of whether they choose to wear a mask.
The masks are planned to be distributed this week.
American Airlines refused to comment on how many employees had tested positive for COVID-19.
The union says only about one in four of its flight attendants will be flying in May due to major cuts in the airline's schedule.
