SINGAPORE: Outdoor and non-air-conditioned facilities at all ActiveSG sport centres have been temporarily closed as the haze situation worsens across Singapore, national sports agency Sport Singapore (SportSG) said on Friday (Oct 16).

The move marks an expansion of earlier closures, which had affected only selected ActiveSG facilities.

In a notice issued at noon on Friday, SportSG said it had implemented precautionary measures to safeguard the well-being of facility users amid the evolving haze situation.

Indoor and air-conditioned facilities at all ActiveSG sport centres remain open, it added.

Air quality worsened across Singapore overnight, with the 24-hour Pollutant Standards Index (PSI) readings reaching the very unhealthy range in three regions on Friday.

Central Singapore was the first to cross into the very unhealthy band at midnight, with its 24-hour PSI climbing to 227 at 9am – the highest reading recorded this year. It eased slightly to 226 at 1pm.
