The federal government is yet to mandate the closure of gyms in response to the coronavirus pandemic, but many in Australia and around the world are already shutting their doors.
Last week, members of a Fitness First gym in Sydney’s George Street were told they may have been exposed to the coronavirus after an individual who had visited the club tested positive for COVID-19.
“Since being made aware of the individual’s visit, all equipment and surfaces they could have come into contact with were thoroughly disinfected with hospital-grade products, in addition to surrounding areas and equipment,” a Fitness First spokesperson told Yahoo News.
