Gymnasiums and fitness centers, which have been closed since March due to the coronavirus-induced lockdown, are now required to strictly adhere to the standard operating procedures (SOP) issued by the government.
Emphasizing on the strict adherence to SOP, the chief Minister said, “This may be a business but it is closely linked with public health. This should always be kept in mind. The number of (Covid-19) patients is now declining, but looking at what is happening in Europe, we must stay alert. We are slowly relaxing restrictions but everyone must ensure that this does not lead to complacency.”
