Temasek Foundation to Distribute Free Reusable Masks to Singapore Residents From Jan. 10

This early 2022, the Temasek Foundation will be offering one MaskPure AIR+ reusable face mask to every Singapore resident for free as part of its Stay Prepared initiative to remain protected against COVID-19.

This includes Singapore Permanent Residents, holders of Singapore Employment or Work Pass Permits and other Long Term Passes, including dependents of Employment Pass holders and international students.

The antimicrobial mask has an N95 filtration middle layer and can be used for up to 30 weeks when rinsed weekly. According to the foundation on Jan. 6, the masks are also more breathable than standard type N95 filters and remain so even after rinsing.

Singaporean residents can start collecting the masks at any #StayMasked vending machine throughout the city-state, beginning at 10 AM of Jan. 10 until Jan. 23 at 11:59 PM.

Residents need to bring their government-issued IDs or manually type in their ID numbers at the vending machines to collect the masks.
