From Nov 30, all Singapore residents will be able to collect a free pair of antimicrobial face masks, under the third such initiative organised by Temasek Foundation.
The 3D masks are made by Proshield and come in four sizes.
"This is similar to the white Singapore lion mask that was distributed in the National Day pack meant for every household," said Temasek Holdings CEO Ho Ching in a Facebook post on Thursday.

They will also come with spare filters, which can be slipped into the mask pocket if the wearer prefers to have more protection in crowded places.
