Singapore is ending most of its haze measures on Saturday (Nov 7), after about two months of its worst haze episode since 2015, following a sustained improvement in conditions. Daily haze advisories, N95 mask distribution and haze shelters end, and the Haze Task Force stands down. Subsidised treatment for haze-related conditions ceases from Nov 12.

From Sep 4 to Nov 6, the 24-hour PSI was in the unhealthy range in at least one region on 38 days, peaking at 230 in western Singapore on Oct 18, the highest since 2015. The PSI stayed above 100 for 422 hours, against 164 hours in 2015, yet schools did not close.

What the end of haze measures means for families

  • The daily haze advisories, which began on Sep 4 when the 24-hour PSI first entered the unhealthy range, stop on Nov 7, along with N95 mask distribution.
  • Subsidised treatment for haze-related conditions, offered at Public Health Preparedness Clinics and polyclinics, ceases from Nov 12.
  • The age threshold for free masks was lowered from 67 to 60 in the second round, which may matter for families with older relatives.

Why this matters in Singapore

This touches every Singapore family with school-age children or older relatives, from preschool to secondary school. The National Environment Agency issued the haze advisories, and the Ministry of Health's subsidised treatment scheme is winding down. Parents searching for this may use terms such as haze, PSI, PM2.5, N95 masks, haze advisory, school closure and polyclinic subsidy.
