SINGAPORE – The Temasek Foundation will launch its third nationwide reusable mask distribution exercise from November 30 to December 13, the foundation said in a statement on Thursday (November 26).
All Singapore residents with a government-issued ID can collect one free mask kit each, containing two black masks and three filters, starting at 10 a.m. at around 1,200 vending machines on the island.
They can be found at over 800 locations, including bus interchanges, community centers, resident committee centers, Temasek Shophouse, and Plaza Singapura.
The mask comes in four sizes: small, medium, large, and extra large.
The small size is intended for children under the age of eight. Can only be collected at Community Centers, Plaza Singapura and Temasek Shophouse.
The size guides for full-size masks, which can be trimmed, will be published in The Straits Times on Saturday, December 5 and 12.
Temasek CEO and CEO Ho Ching announced the distribution of these “breathable antimicrobial 3D masks” from local company Proshield in a Facebook post on November 19.
The mask consists of three layers: an antibacterial outer layer to repel water droplets, a filter liner, and an inner layer to absorb saliva.
Can be used without a filter when exercising or in less crowded environments.
The three reusable filters, made of nanofiber fabric, protect users from saliva droplets or dust particles.
The filters can be used with the new masks or with other masks that have filter bags.
Both masks and filters can be washed up to 50 times, after which the masks will have lower antimicrobial performance.
The public can also order additional mask kits online or through DBS Paylah! Application for $ 12 each starting at 10 a.m. M. From next Monday.
They are advised to purchase additional masks after trying on the free masks to verify their fit and size, the Temasek Foundation said.
Orders are limited to five mask kits for sizes S and M, as well as no more than 10 mask kits for sizes L and XL.
During Temasek’s previous distribution exercise from September to October, around 7.6 million free reusable antimicrobial masks were collected. In its first exercise from June to July, 9.3 million masks were collected.
