MOH, major retailers say N95 mask stocks sufficient to meet demand if haze worsens
The inter-agency Haze Task Force has advised retailers to monitor their stock levels and replenish supplies where necessary, as the country prepares for a rising risk of haze.
Major retailers in Singapore have confirmed that they have sufficient stocks of N95 masks to meet demand should the country's haze situation worsen. This follows the advice of the inter-agency Haze Task Force, which advised retailers to monitor their stock levels and replenish supplies as needed. The task force has also been engaged by Singapore to help prepare for the rising risk of haze.
The Ministry of Health (MOH) maintains a government stockpile of N95 masks that can supplement retailers' own supplies if necessary. The risk of transboundary haze is expected to peak between August and September, with the National Environment Agency (NEA) predicting brief periods of haze this year. Major retailers like Watsons, Guardian, and FairPrice Group have stated they have sufficient stocks of N95 masks to meet customer needs and are monitoring the situation closely with guidance from relevant government agencies.
