Keep gyms open throughout the National Lockdown from 5th November 2020
Keep gyms open throughout lockdown. They are vital to keeping the mental health and well-being of the country in good spirits.
Keeping them open not only helps mental health, but thousands of business owners whose business may not survive a second lockdown.
Gyms have not once been used as a statistic for higher levels of COVID-19 cases. They offer a safe and clean environment where people can successfully social distance whilst improving their physical and mental health.
In turn keeping them open helps business who would otherwise furlough. Gyms have a two-fold effect on helping individuals’ wellbeing as well as aiding the economy in this sector.
It is absurd to create a blanket ban without any evidence gyms contribute to rising COVID-19 cases.
