Gyms across the country have been given the green light to reopen, according to a letter by the sport ministry.
Gyms owners have since March been gripped by uncertainty after they were asked to close their work-out centres as the government struggles against the coronavirus pandemic. The past weeks have been painfully hard for them as they faced pressure from their landlords.
They have on numerous occasions reached out to the ministry of youth and sports and the national sports council over their plight.
On Monday 13 July, the ministry of youth and sports wrote to the Gym Club Association telling them they ‘may’ start operating again.
“You must observe social distancing as per the WHO guidelines being propagated by the ministry of health,” the sport ministry in its letter signed by Fatou Sahor on behalf of the permanent secretary said.
