  "account": "Singapore's racing authority suggests possible restrictions on outdoor events during this weekend's Singapore Grand Prix if the city-state's haze worsens, according to the Federation Internationale de l Automobile (FIA). Although the race itself will not be affected, smoke from fires in Indonesia could impact the city-state's air quality, which has been unhealthy for weeks. Singapore's National Environment Agency and tourism board have not yet commented on the FIA's statement. In 2019, when the air quality was also unhealthy, organizers had first aid help on standby and provided N95 masks to attendees.",
  "summary": "SINGAPORE: There might be “some restrictions” on outdoor activity such as entertainment during this weekend’s Singapore Grand Prix, but not on the race, if the haze currently blanketing the city-state worsens, the motor sports governing body said on Thursday.",
