The Anytime Fitness gym in Bukit Timah recently linked to the suspected Omicron cluster has been ordered to close for 10 days after it did not ensure that patrons adhered to safe management measures (SMMs).
Sport Singapore (SportSG) said in a statement on Thursday (Dec 23) that the gym in Bukit Timah Shopping Centre has been issued with a notice of composition and ordered to close for 10 days from Wednesday.
