Aside from not being able to show everyone your winning smile, masks have had several advantages.
Some women no longer feel the pressure to put on makeup, for instance, and I’ve not had to brush my teeth for the last year.
Reader: You’re joking, right?
Sure, let’s go with that.
While we panicked about a potential shortage when masks were first made mandatory, we now have more than enough for ourselves, thanks largely to the Temasek Foundation.
Since the pandemic struck Singapore, the foundation has carried out three distribution exercises for free reusable masks.
Now, they’re giving us yet another mask, and it’s much improved from the last one.
New Free Reusable Masks Would Only Need to be Washed Once a Week with Daily Use & Can Last Up to 7 Months
Just like underwear, you’ll soon only have to wash your new reusable mask once a week.
Reader: You only wash your underwear once a week?
On 1 March, the Temasek Foundation will begin their fourth mask distribution exercise. Residents will be able to collect their masks over a period of two weeks from then.
The fourth #StayMasked exercise was announced by CEO Ho Ching in a Facebook post on Friday (19 Feb).
Unlike the previous exercises, residents will only be eligible for one mask each, but this mask comes with a host of improvements.
For one, as previously mentioned, users only need to wash their face masks once a week, even if they use it seven days a week.
Why? This is because the Livinguard 3D mask is specially treated on both the inner and outer layers. Plus, the antibacterial properties on the inner layer kills any bacteria from our saliva.
Yes, there’s no need to wash your mask every day after a long day’s work.
Even better, with up to 30 washes, the mask can be used for up to 7 months, even if we wear it every day.
And even after that, we could use it as an outer mask for double-masking.
Sanitiser Distribution Exercise
Just like the last round, the mask distribution will be followed by a hand sanitiser distribution exercise which will commence in mid-April.
Residents are encouraged to bring a bottle or two to collect their 500ml of alcohol-free hand sanitiser.
Both the mask and hand sanitiser will be available for collection at vending machines placed at CCs.
All residents have to do is bring their March or April Singapore Power bills, which contain a special QR code.
Then, simply scan them at the readers of the vending machines, and collect your items.
