In line with the elevated set of safe distancing measures announced by MOH on 3 April 2020, all HPB's on-ground events and activities that have been cancelled/suspended since 26 March, 2359 hours will remain so until 4 May 2020 (inclusive).

For the suspension of the 'Scan & Win' at parks and MRT stations, participants who have completed 1 – 9 scans will be credited 8 Healthpoints for each scan. These Healthpoints will be credited by 30 April 2020. For eligible participants, an in-app notification will be sent via the Healthy 365 mobile app after the Healthpoints have been credited to your account.

The National Steps Challenge™ will continue until 30 April 2020, and participants are encouraged to keep active while staying at home. Online resources offering tips on staying active are available at www.healthhub.sg/staywell.

All National Steps Challenge™ Customer Care Centres will also be closed from 7 April to 4 May 2020 (inclusive). Participants who wish to exchange their faulty HPB fitness trackers may do so when services at the Customer Care Centres resume. Fitness tracker warranties that expire during the closure period will be extended to facilitate tracker exchanges after the Customer Care Centres resume their services. Participants who require assistance during this period may contact us at stepschallenge@hpb.gov.sg.

HPB will continue to closely monitor the evolving COVID-19 situation and take guidance from MOH's advisories which can be found on www.moh.gov.sg.

The National Steps ChallengeTM Season 5 is here! In our most feel-good season ever, we want YOU to feel the amazing effects of moving more with new programme features and activities. So, start moving and see how easy it is to feel good with every move.
