SINGAPORE – Singapore residents can collect improved reusable masks from next Tuesday (May 26), in a third mask distribution exercise that will span three weeks.

The latest distribution of new masks – which are more comfortable to wear and have better filtration qualities – will continue until June 14. The previous two rounds lasted about a week each.

About six million reusable masks have been prepared for the exercise, similar to the previous one. Collection counters will be set up at 109 community clubs (CCs) and 661 residents’ committee centres (RCs) across Singapore.

This time, residents can also pick them up from 24-hour vending machines. Some 400 machines will be placed at all CCs for those unable to pick up their free masks from the collection counters.

Residents with a valid identification card can collect one reusable mask each. This includes foreign domestic workers, foreign workers not living in dormitories and international students living in hostels. The Manpower Ministry will distribute masks to foreign workers living in dormitories.
