All ActiveSG outdoor sports facilities resume operations on Oct 17

Singapore's ActiveSG sports facilities will reopen on October 17 as the haze situation improves, according to a midnight update on the ActiveSG Circle website. The 24-hour PSI across Singapore dropped to the "unhealthy" range overnight, signaling a slight easing of the haze conditions. ActiveSG Circle advised visitors to monitor air quality conditions and adjust their activities accordingly, particularly urging vulnerable groups to take extra precautions while engaging in outdoor activities.

SportSG, ActiveSG's governing body, stated that they would continue to monitor the haze situation closely and modify operations as needed. The temporary closure of all outdoor and non-air-conditioned facilities at ActiveSG's sport centers in the south, east, west, and central regions had been implemented on October 15 due to unhealthy air pollution levels.
