[UPDATE, Feb 11]

MILKSHA GIVING OUT FREE DISINFECTANT

In the midst of the current coronavirus outbreak, good samaritans have been giving out free face masks and making ginger tea for neighbours. A bottle of hand sanitiser was also seen placed in a lift in Punggol with an anonymous note encouraging residents to "Use what you need. Stay safe".

Bubble tea chain Milksha is also joining in the fight against the virus by giving out free 50ml Hypochlorous acid (HOCL) disinfectant, and it comes without any conditions or need to purchase its milk tea. 

All you have to do is bring an opaque container, which will prevent sunlight from breaking down the chemical, to any of its outlets islandwide (except at Funan) to redeem the disinfectant.

NEA has also recently put out list of household cleaning products that are effective against the Wuhan virus. 

$2 DAISO FACE MASK 

If you're scrambling to get hold of face masks, Daiso Singapore is selling 30 pieces for just $2 per box. 

As it is currently the cheapest face mask, for just seven cents per piece, and it is limited to one box per customer, you'll want to get your hands on them before they fly off the shelves.

The three-layer face mask offers 99 per cent protection against pollen, bacteria and dust, and comes with a nose wire for a snug fit.

The government has also started handing out four surgical masks to every household from Feb 1 to 5, at the 89 community centres (CC) and 654 residents' committee (RC) centres.

MOH's advisory notes that people who are sick with symptoms such as fever, cough or runny nose should wear surgical masks so as not to spread their illnesses to others, while experts have said that healthy people don't need to wear masks.
