Delhi unlock: Gyms likely to reopen from next week

The Delhi Gym Association vice-president said, "We met the chief minister today and received a very positive response. He has promised us that gyms will be allowed to open from next week.” 

New Delhi: Even as Delhi has started unlocking in a phased manner, gyms continue to remain shut. The Delhi Gym Association is hopeful that the gyms in the national capital will reopen soon. After a meeting with Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday (June 23), Chirag Sethi, vice-president of the association told PTI, “We met the chief minister today and received a very positive response. He has promised us that gyms will be allowed to open from next week.”  However, there has been no reaction from the Delhi government on the same yet.  In a letter to the CM, the Delhi Gym Association urged the government to permit gyms to open in the next phase of the unlock process citing decline in COVID-19 cases and “big distress” for the owners.
