Cooling spaces with air conditioning will be available to Singaporeans in the event of dangerously high temperatures. These spaces, located in community centres and residents' committees, as well as selected indoor sports halls, will be located islandwide — as part of heat response measures developed by a new inter-agency task force. The group called the Mercury Taskforce, which comprises of 37 public agencies including the Ministry of Education and Ministry of Social and Family Development, unveiled the national plan to combat heat waves to the media on Wednesday (March 19). There are already existing measures to protect vulnerable groups from heat stress, such as the Ministry of Manpower's framework where workers involved in heavy physical labour should be given at least 10 minutes to rest under shade every hour. But the plan is part of a new national approach on how the various agencies would react should a heatwave occur in Singapore. A heatwave here is defined when the highest daily temperature over three consecutive days is at least 35 deg C, with the mean temperature each day being at least 29 deg C.
