We are very aware of the links associated with exercise to both depression and physical health, with such a large emphasis on tackling obesity and mental health, it seems nonsensical to close again","additional_details":"Compared to the initial lockdown, we have vast amounts of data to put forward the argument that gyms are incredibly low risk. Both UK active and safeACTIVE have released figures pertaining to around 80 million plus visits with just under 600 infections resulting in a 0.000007% rate of infection. For the positive mental, physical and emotional benefits as well as economic and financial impact too, I, among with many others, feel it's necessary to keep gyms open","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":21,"created_at":"2020-10-31T20:01:21.336Z","updated_at":"2020-11-18T12:38:44.073Z","rejected_at":"2020-11-06T16:14:14.914Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2020-10-31T20:05:07.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_on":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"rejection":{"code":"duplicate","details":"You may wish to sign some of these petitions:\r\n\r\nKeep gyms and leisure facilities open during any lockdown: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/556956\r\n\r\nPrevent gyms closing due to a spike in Covid 19 cases: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/333869\r\n\r\nThe Committee will be holding a debate on Covid-19 restrictions on gyms and sport on Monday 23 November.
