Where have all the people gone? From restaurants to running tracks, Singapore adjusts outdoor activities as haze bites

Singapore is adjusting its outdoor activities in response to the haze that has pushed the city-state's air quality into the unhealthy range. Businesses, sports organisations, and healthcare providers are taking measures to protect the public, with many operations continuing as normal for now. Restaurants in the Central Business District are still serving customers outdoors, but some are preparing to move diners indoors if the air quality worsens.

Sports organisations, such as Singapore Athletics, Singapore Rugby Union, and Singapore Baseball and Softball Association, are considering changes to match formats and outdoor training if the haze worsens. The National Environment Agency advises the public to reduce prolonged or strenuous outdoor activities when the PSI is between 101 and 200.
