Sports facilities to remain closed in Phase 1 of post-circuit breaker period: Sport Singapore

SINGAPORE - Sports, recreation and outdoor facilities such as gyms and fitness studios will remain closed as Singapore enters Phase 1 of the post-circuit breaker period from June 2, announced national sport agency Sport Singapore on Sunday .

From June 2, Singapore will gradually restart its economy in three phases over the next several months and will move from Phase 1 to the next stage if community transmission rates remain"low and stable" and the dormitory situation remains under control, said the Government on Tuesday. Sports that involve deliberate body contact between participants may be deferred until it is deemed less risky, said SportSG.Q: How long will sports facilities be suspended? A: Based on the multi-ministry task force's announcement on May 19, all sports and recreational facilities will remain closed in Phase 1.

Q: Am I still allowed to exercise outdoors? A: While it is not encouraged, individuals may leave home to walk, run, cycle or engage in other similar exercise alone or only with members living in the same household. They should do so in their immediate neighbourhoods rather than travel unnecessarily to other parts of Singapore. Individuals should not linger after their exercise and should return home immediately after they are done. All other exercises must be done at home.

Q: When I am outside, is it compulsory to wear a mask at all times? A: According to the multi-ministry task force's announcement on May 19 and SportSG's May 24 advisory, it is compulsory for all members of the public to wear a mask when they go out for essential services or exercise. Enforcement officers and ambassadors will be deployed daily across the island to enforce this requirement. SportSG enforcement officers can be identified by their corporate attire and the Safe Distancing EO pass and armband.
