Singapore Team Sports Eligibility and COVID-19 Safe Management Measures

Unfortunately, only the fully vaccinated can play these team sports.

Sport Singapore defines fully vaccinated persons as:

• Individuals who have received the appropriate regimen of World Health Organisation Emergency Use Listing (WHO EUL) vaccines including their respective duration post-vaccination for the vaccine to be fully effective, and had their records reflected in MOH’s systems.
• Individuals who have taken two doses of Sinovac-CoronaVac should be regarded as fully vaccinated for 4 months after the second dose, or until 31 December 2021, whichever is later. (Sinovac-CoronaVac requires a three-dose primary series regime).
• Persons who have recovered from COVID-19 will be considered fully vaccinated 14 days after their single dose of the PSAR-authorised mRNA vaccines (i.e. Pfizer-BioNTech/Comirnaty, Moderna) or WHO EUL vaccines.
• Persons who have recovered from COVID-19 within the last 270 days, regardless of their vaccination status.
• Unvaccinated individuals (including the medically ineligible and children 12 years and below who are not yet eligible for vaccination) are NOT ALLOWED to participate even if they have a valid negative pre-event test result.

If you are eligible to play, there is one more thing you need to do before the games can begin.

You will need to bring an unused antigen rapid test (ART) self-test kit to the facility and take the test on-site first.

Only after your ART test is negative on-site will you then be allowed to participate in team sports at that venue.

Note that you can only take the ART test on-site for it to be valid.

You will not be allowed to enter if you take the ART test elsewhere and produce evidence of the negative result (either by photo evidence or by bringing the used test kit) when you reach the facility.

Alternatively, if you are fully vaccinated, you can choose to take either a pre-event test (PET) at a Ministry of Health (MOH)  approved Covid-19 test provider or an ART result taken at Quick Test Centre.

A valid negative test result can be used in place of the ART on-site.

Note that the negative result needs to be reflected in your TraceTogether or Health Hub app and be within its 24-hour validity window till the end of the game.

In addition, Channel News Asia has reported that:

• Participants will need to fill up and submit a mandatory online application form to apply for a slot under the enhanced vaccination-differentiated safe management measures.
• The application grants individuals an in-principal approval. They will need to come 30 minutes before the start of the booked timeslot to do the ART test before entering the facility.
• Individuals who have booked two hourly slots back to back but were unaware of the online application form can still submit the form before performing the on-site ART test.
• Those who wish to join their friends’ slot after theirs has ended will not need to undergo another ART test so long as they remain within the same facility.
• However, participants who are playing at a different facility on the same day will need to undergo another ART test before entering the next facility.
