Singapore reopens ActiveSG sports facilities as haze eases, but water sports suspended

Singapore has reopened its ActiveSG sports facilities as the haze conditions improved, according to The Straits Times. The 24-hour Pollutant Standards Index (PSI) readings have dropped into the unhealthy range overnight, allowing the facilities to resume operations. ActiveSG Circle, Sport Singapore's online platform, advised visitors to monitor air quality and take extra precautions if they are vulnerable groups.

All outdoor and non-air-conditioned facilities were temporarily closed on October 15 when the PSI reached the very unhealthy range, peaking at 212. However, some venues, including the OCBC Aquatic Centre, Water Sports Centre, Kallang Football Hub, and outdoor courts at Kallang Tennis Hub, have now resumed outdoor operations. The Kallang Water Sports Centre, though, has suspended operations from 11am due to deteriorating visibility.

All outdoor activities will be halted if the PSI reaches the very unhealthy range of 201 to 300, and indoor and outdoor activities will be suspended if it exceeds 300. SAFRA Tampines has also reopened its outdoor sports facilities, but some SAFRA clubs, like those in Toa Payoh, Jurong, and Choa Chu Kang, still have their outdoor facilities closed.
