Rejected petition Gyms to remain open during this latest November lockdown.

Keep gyms open as per their normal hours during this latest November lockdown.

More details

Gyms are an extremely important place for people.
Mental health cases rose during the previous nationwide lockdown, which should be reason enough to keep them open. They give people a place to release energy and give them something to focus on.
Gyms also represent an extremely small amount of overall COVID-19 cases, especially compared to places such as schools and universities which are remaining open.
Closing gyms is a terrible idea and should not happen.
