SINGAPORE - Higher-risk settings such as indoor gyms and indoor fitness or health studios will be closed and mass participation events will be suspended from Saturday (May 8) to May 30 to minimise large Covid-19 cluster formation and reduce the risk of community transmission.
No spectators will be allowed at sports events during this period.
At a press conference on Tuesday, Education Minister Lawrence Wong, who co-chairs the multi-ministry task force (MTF) tackling the coronavirus pandemic in Singapore, announced stricter measures to stop the spread of Covid-19 in the wider community.
He said: There are some settings which are of higher risk. typically where there is a high density of people who are unmasked and in close proximity with one another, often for prolonged periods.
