Yes.

One of the black reusable masks is quite thick. I can't imagine putting on 2 such masks.

I will continue to use my cloth masks with min 2 layers

Are the free masks given by Tamasek Foundation cloth masks?

I've been mainly using the free masks given out by Temaek and PA. We also bought extra so we have been able to replace them. I'm keeping my double-layered home-made cloth masks as spares, but since we aren't going out much, I don't see I will need them.

They gave out different types are different times, and I didn't collect the latest lot, so I don't know the material. But the announcement specifically stated that those handed out by Temasek had good filtration capabilities.

When people suggest double-masking, it's usually a surgical mask (quite thin) with another kind of mask. Not 2 thick ones at the same time.

I would temper all the advice bandied about according to context of use. If wearing 2 masks is too uncomfortable, wearers are likely to remove them more often. Since the authorities have not issued general advice to double-mask, I won't except for exceptional circumstances. I might consider it if going to a hospital or places where I expect crowds (though I would just avoid those places unless essential), but not for quick trips to the supermarket or when walking around my neighbourhood.

Yup, the most recent distribution, MaskPlus Livinguard, wears well. But I still instruct my P4 to just completely stay home until such time

Best is don’t go out unless necessary.


There is a time lag before they do the contact tracing. Friend’s school informed them 3 days ago that got confirmed case so move to HBL. Today then MOH called them to say kids must QO cos the confirmed case was in close contact with the whole class. During these 3 days, the whole class of kids could have wandered all over the island liao.

.... now India said they must be wary of us cos the Singapore variant might cause India to go into 3rd wave. But hey, it’s still the B1617 same variant leh! ....

Isn't B1617 from India ? :scratchhead:

:idea: chief minister did not read details before any how shoot ? :siam:

Can you imagine if everyday we read news like in Australia, the covid strain is attacking young children, local government in panic mode to vaccinate all children ASAP, I am sure we will be panicking and start calling upon our government to ban Australians from coming in too.

Sigh! Looks like I can’t use my Totobobo mask any more as DMS says…strongly discourage the use of exhalation masks from a public health perspective.
