I just collected; I prefer a darker colour.

So the masks are a different colour this time? Not black? I find dark colours hot (may be my imagination), and also boring.

Are they the same type as the last time? I find them too thick and uncomfortable, and prefer to stick to my own homemade cotton masks. I'll pass mine to my daughter to bring back to the UK (she may like the thickness!).

My helper got 3 masks last time fr the mailbox, 2 of which are colorful ones. Think fr some volunteer’s sewing efforts? I thot we see only for FWs. Was wondering why we only got a piece but I prefer wearing store-bought surgical masks.

Yup, this time round (3rd distribution), the front of the reusable mask is off-white, with folds (its design resembles the single use ones). It feels that much more lightweight as compared to the previous (2nd) distribution's. These come with coloured (eg. orange, green) loops, which are slightly longer in length, & adjustable. No child size available. My kids prefer reusable ones for being environmentally friendlier.

This morning, I heard on radio about 2 students being confirmed cases of Covid. One is a 15yo girl from East Spring Sec, but for the other 13yo, MOH did not disclose the school. Wonder why.

BTW, starting from today, my DD1 was asked to wear a mask during PE! Is the Covid situation in school worsening?

Thanks for all the feedback. I'll try to get mine tomorrow, and see how we like them. For breathability, I find the bedsheet material ones the best, though maybe not so high in protection. But as long as we stay away from crowded places and others are also masked, I think the difference is not great.

Just collected mine. Each pair looks like this:

Just opened up my pack of 2 new masks...
I prefer these to the 1st two govt-given batches.

- first free mask was basically just thin cloth & feels like there's no protection
- second batch was very thick & feels tight; v tough to breathe, so never use
- this new one has adjustable straps, average thickness so it should be able to fit more people & is more comfy

Hi, mine wore the reusable off-white mask (this latest distribution's) in school the whole morning, & finds it definitely More Breathable. The loops (long even for my big-face kid) may need to be adjusted so that they don't keep swinging distractingly against the ears.
