SINGAPORE: Outdoor and non-air-conditioned facilities at all ActiveSG sport centres have been temporarily closed as the haze situation worsens across Singapore, national sports agency Sport Singapore (SportSG) said on Friday (Oct 16).
The move marks an expansion of earlier closures, which had affected only selected ActiveSG facilities.
SportSG issued several updates on Thursday, with different advisories as the haze situation evolved.
In its latest notice at noon on Friday, SportSG said indoor and air-conditioned facilities at all ActiveSG sport centres remain open.
