This petition was submitted during the 2019-2024 parliament
Rejected petition Keep all gyms open throughout a national lockdown!
The gyms help so many people not just physically but mentally! If the gyms close a lot of people will lose that and their mental health will suffer massively!
More details
The gyms are some of the safest places and the cleanest places since they reopened in July, there has been a minimal infection rate increase within gym settings and it makes no sense for them to close! They are essential whereas a lot of other companies being left open are not eg. Takeaways!
Keep the gyms open during national lockdown!
