## Summary

Singapore will end its haze response measures from Saturday, Nov 7, as air quality improves. The changes include stopping N95 mask distribution to vulnerable residents, closing designated haze shelters and ending daily advisories.

The Health Ministry’s Public Health Preparedness Clinic and Haze Subsidy schemes will end on Nov 12, while measures for outdoor workers and the inter-agency Haze Task Force will stand down from Nov 7. Mask collection ends at 6pm on Saturday; close to 30 per cent of eligible Singaporeans had collected masks by Oct 29. NEA attributed the improvement to inter-monsoon conditions, increased rainfall and fewer hotspots in the region.
