Gymgoers will not need to wear masks
Fitness fanatics will not be required to wear facemasks when gyms and fitness clubs reopen for the first time since the coronavirus lockdown on Saturday.
The Government also updated guidance last week to say face masks were ‘strongly encouraged’ while in contact with ‘people you do not normally meet’. It promised to make sure the fitness industry followed Government measures before the long-awaited reopening but a UKactive spokesperson said that they would not expect face coverings to become mandatory in its facilities, spanning across 7,000 gyms, leisure centres and swimming pools.
Company PureGym, which has more than 260 sites, said that means a club that normally accommodates 180 to 200 people at peak times will hold nearer 130, including staff.
