Gyms to be reopened and classed as "essential".
Government to reopen gyms and classify them as "essential" to avoid closure of such premesis in any future covid spike.
The gym is a place that is vital for so many people, both in terms of their physical and mental health.
After months of lockdown and tiered restrictions across the country, people have been relying on their gyms since they reopened for a sense of normality, community, and to maintain their health.
A gym which enforce social distancing, enforces hand sanitisation, is cleaned regularly, is a benefit to people in these uncertain times as opposed to being a risk.
