Dear Editor,
The world is finding out that outbreaks often occur when people gather in crowded, insufficiently ventilated indoor spaces, such as singing at karaoke parties, cheering at clubs, having conversations in bars, and exercising in gyms.
The gyms and the health clubs are the main source of infection right now.
People don’t realize it but it is worse than being in an enclosed night club. In a gym a lot of sweat is exchanged.
And the gyms don’t have the manpower to disinfect every piece of equipment after every use.
I have seen people in the gym who have tested positive couple of days later.
It is a non-essential business, so shutting them down for few weeks is not going to cause harm, but it will certainly help to bring down the spread of the COVID-19 virus.
Stay safe and healthy.
