The Singapore Sports Hub has closed the kids water playground at its Splash-N-Surf facility and suspended some activities and programmes at venues from Friday till April 30, including the OCBC Arena, OCBC Aquatic Centre, water sports centre, Climb Central and National Stadium.
The additional precautionary measures are in line with the latest government advisories and guidelines for the coronavirus pandemic to "ensure a safe environment for the public to continuously keep fit and stay healthy", said the Sports Hub in a media advisory on Friday.
They include limiting all group activities to 10 persons or fewer, regulating capacity at the facilities to allow social distancing, and directing visitors at some venues to a single entry point for thermal scanning.
The frequency of cleaning at the facilities will also be increased.
Visitors who are on leave of absence or stay-home notice, or have recent travel history to countries or regions placed under travel restrictions by the Government, will not be permitted to enter the venue.
