Senior Minister Lee Hsien Loong has advised the public to stay indoors when the haze is bad and wear a mask outdoors if necessary.
In a Facebook post on Wednesday (Oct 14), SM Lee shared some precautions people can take as air quality in Singapore entered the "Very Unhealthy" range at 9pm on Wednesday.
"Wear a mask if you need one, stay indoors when the haze is bad, and check official sources and news channels for updates on the haze conditions," wrote SM Lee in his post, reminding everyone to stay safe and well.
He announced that the People's Association is distributing masks to vulnerable groups, including seniors, pregnant women, children and people with medical conditions, starting from Wednesday.
"Just collected my masks at Teck Ghee CC. Eligible residents can do so too by 10pm tonight, or from 10am to 6pm from tomorrow," SM Lee wrote.
Each eligible person may collect one pack containing two N95 masks. Family members or friends may collect the masks on their behalf using the eligible person's NRIC.
He added that members of the public can visit the HazeMaskGoWhere website for more information on where to collect their masks and highlighted other available collection points, including vending machines.
He also shared that residents in his constituency can visit nearby CCs and selected Residents' Network (RN) Centres from 10am to 6pm to seek respite from the haze, with the full list of venues available in a Facebook post by Teck Ghee CC on Wednesday.
