Hand sanitizers have become a common sight these days. They are particularly useful for cleaning your hands when you don’t have access to soap and water.
For those who cannot get them from stores, Temasek Foundation has just announced they will be giving away 500ml hand sanitizers for free to all households in Singapore.
23 March onwards
Residents can look out for pamphlets with redemption tabs in their mailbox in the coming days.
The collection day will be indicated on the pamphlet.

Bring your own bottle
During the collection day, bring along your pamphlet along with a clean bottle with a capacity of 500ml or more, and with labels removed.
There’s also a video showing the steps to collect your hand sanitizers.
Zero alcohol hand sanitizer
Although the hand sanitizer distributed doesn’t have alcohol content due to concerns of fire hazard, they still contain a solution of 0.054% benzalkonium chloride, which disables germs like coronaviruses as per NEA guidelines.
