These measures are directed towards reducing or containing community spread of COVID-19 by stopping high-risk physical activities, sport and exercise environments that are indoors, where participants are in close contact, exerting and are not reasonably expected to be wearing masks.

Businesses of similar nature but have different SSIC codes i.e. 85410, 93119, 93120 can apply for Sport Singapore’s assessment.
