Gyms are slowly opening back up in the middle of this pandemic, but we aren’t out of the woods yet, and we should still be taking precautions. We should still try to maintain a social distance of six feet from one another, because droplets can still be spread from person to person even with the mask on at all times. Make sure you are using your own equipment when you can and bring your own water bottles, don’t share them with anybody.

Key Takeaways:

• Some gym and fitness centers are beginning to open up all over the country.
• There are some risks associated with using the gym, so try to maintain distance, and bring your own water bottle.
• You can exercise in your home or outdoors, wherever you can get some activity.

“While COVID-19 is most commonly spread through close contact with an individual who has the virus, it is possible to become infected by touching a contaminated surface and then touching your mouth, nose or eyes.
