Following the release of update on the Safe Management Measures for Sport and Physical Exercise & Activity following Mid-Point review of Phase 2 (Heightened Alert) as of 18 August 2021, while the following changes do not greatly impact clubs, it is still imporant to be aware of the listed items mentioned: 

• To allow time for instructors/coaches to be fully vaccinated, as a transitional arrangement (from now to 30 September 2021), instructors / coaches do not need to take a pre-event test before conducting indoors classes/activities with unmasked participants, as long as they are masked at all times when instructing/coaching. They are advised to moderate their own intensity level when leading these activities, so that they do not invariably end up unmasked. This transitional arrangement is only applicable to instructors/coaches and will not apply to participants.
• If there are multiple groups, there shall be no cross-mixing or cross-playing between groups i.e. no modified versions of games where a ball is being played between two groups of 5 pax.
• As announced by the Multi-Ministry Taskforce, the temperature screening requirement will be removed from 19 August 2021.
• From now till 30 September 2021, all cleaners working in unmasked indoor settings such as gyms and studios and who may be at risk of fomite transmission, will join the workforce listed under paragraphs 19 (a) and (b) for FET once every 14 days. These cleaners will be placed under the “Vaccinate or Regular Test” regime under paragraph 19, from 1 October 2021.
