Singaporeans are no stranger to mask collection exercises by now, and Temasek Foundation just announced yet another one, named StayMasked.
This time, all Singapore residents are entitled to 2 free masks each, which they can collect from 1 of 1,200 vending machines found across the island.
In its press statement, Temasek Foundation said that the vending machines can be found at:
Singapore residents can collect their masks from any of these machines from 10am next Monday (29 Jun) until 11.59pm on 12 Jul.
To collect the masks, Singaporeans would have to scan a form of identification with a barcode, which could come in the form of an Identity Card (IC), Birth Certificate, or FIN.
Those who want additional masks can also preorder them for $8/pair, and collect them from the vending machines using the QR code they receive.
The Temasek Foundation-designed masks are DET30 antimicrobial masks and have a design more similar to that of surgical masks, which some may prefer.
Here are some instructions from Temasek Foundation on how to wear the masks:
And how you ought to be washing them:
Hopefully, as more are able to benefit from these masks, they will be encouraged to keep them on at all times.
Until they’re out, do continue to wear the masks you have and keep vigilant.
