Will outdoor sports be allowed only without spectators?

Question

Accepted Answer

Outdoor Sports Permitted Under Specific Conditions, Excluding Spectators

Outdoor activities are permitted as long as social distancing measures are maintained. However, business activities that necessitate large gatherings and close physical contact, making social distancing difficult to enforce, will not be allowed to resume on May 4. Specific outdoor sports such as badminton and tennis can be played, but strictly without spectators.
Permitted Outdoor Recreational Activities

Individuals are allowed to engage in several outdoor recreational pursuits, including jogging and cycling. Golfing is also permitted. Furthermore, running in small groups, not exceeding 10 people, is allowed, provided that participants adhere to social distancing rules and avoid any bodily contact.
Restrictions on Gatherings and Close-Contact Sports

Activities inherently involving large crowds or close physical proximity remain prohibited. This category includes swimming, rugby, and all indoor and stadium-based sports. The government's stance is to avoid risks associated with the Covid-19 pandemic by not allowing activities where maintaining physical distance is challenging.
Exclusion of Spectators for Certain Sports

While sports like badminton and tennis are permitted, a key stipulation is that they must be conducted without any spectators present. This restriction is in line with the broader policy of limiting public gatherings and minimising potential transmission pathways during the controlled movement control order period.
