Haze risk in Singapore: Preschools ready to move activities indoors if air quality worsens
Some preschools are monitoring air quality readings as often as every two hours, while others have prepared indoor activities and air purifiers as Singapore faces a heightened risk of severe haze in the second half of the year.
Singapore preschools are taking precautions against potential severe haze this year, preparing to move activities indoors and monitoring children’s health closely. Some institutions, like EtonHouse Pre-School Upper Bukit Timah, check air quality readings every two hours, with air purifiers and masks ready for use should the air quality deteriorate.
Should the Pollutant Standards Index (PSI) exceed 100, outdoor play will cease, and children will be moved indoors, where they will continue learning through indoor activities such as music, storytelling, and art. Preschools are also working closely with parents to ensure children with respiratory conditions are well-cared for and receive necessary medication.
