Singapore Sports Hub Opens All Venues and Resumes Sports Programmes

Singapore, 12 August 2021 – Singapore Sports Hub has reopened all its venues and will resume all sports programmes following the calibrated easing of measures under Phase 2 (Heightened Alert) which came into effect on 10 August.

Activity group sizes are now up to five persons at our venues and facilities such as the OCBC Aquatic Centre, OCBC Arena, Sports Hub Gym, Stingray® at Splash-N-Surf, Water Sports Centre, Hard Courts, and Exercise & Fitness Stations. Our programmes at the OCBC Arena and Sports Hub Fitness Studio will also recommence.

Further, in accordance with the latest guidelines on safe management measures (SMMs) at sport facilities, we will be implementing vaccination-differentiated SMMs (VDS) at our indoor venues and for indoor programmes. All patrons must be either fully vaccinated, have a valid negative result on a Pre-Event Test, or have recovered from COVID-19. Their vaccination status will be verified and recorded before they enter the venue. Patrons aged 12 years old and below (i.e. born in and after 2009) who are currently ineligible for any COVID-19 vaccine under the national vaccination programme, are welcome to play at our indoor venues but only with members from the same household.

Lazy River and Kids Water Playground remain closed under current government guidelines.

Patrons should continue to observe safe social distancing and practise good personal hygiene while they are at the Singapore Sports Hub. They should refrain from visiting the Hub if they are serving a quarantine order, leave of absence, self-isolation or stay-home notice. In addition, patrons who are unwell should avoid crowded places and seek medical attention promptly.

Patrons can check https://www.sportshub.com.sg/updates for the latest information on safe management measures at our venues, facilities and activities.
