Coronavirus Shuts Down Gyms In New York, Connecticut, & New Jersey

Several States Close Gyms Due To Coronavirus Concerns

Coronavirus

The outbreak of the COVID-19 coronavirus has been causing increasing concerns amongst governments. Now several states are looking at making serious changes, which will affect those looking to hit the gym.

In case you have been living under a rock, coronavirus is a highly infectious disease, that has been rapidly spreading across the globe. Although the severity of it is the cause of much debate, there is no question that it has become a growing global concern. As a result, it has caused major sporting events to shut down, or be postponed.

Now several government agencies have been taking severe action, in order to limit the spread of this disease. Largely, this involves social distancing, which stops unnecessarily interacting in public settings. Moreover, it has been suggested that those showing symptoms stay indoors to the best of their ability.

However, several states have decided to take things up a notch. It has been reported that as of last night, New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut will be collaborating to help lower the spread of this highly infected region. In order to do so, they have put some serious restrictions, regarding public places.

“#BREAKING: NY, CT and NJ are taking joint regional action to reduce the spread of #COVID19: Effective 8PM TONIGHT:

-Crowd capacity reduced to 50
-Restaurants/bars will be takeout/delivery ONLY
-Gyms closed
-Movie theaters closed
-Casinos closed”

This is a measure, which is being adopted by other states as well. It makes sense too, as these are all the perfect environments for spreading germs. Nevertheless, it is certainly frustrating for those who are regular gym-goers in this area.

If you are one of those unlucky people who will be unable to get your gains in, we have complied some exercises you can do indoors. On the other hand, if you are not forced out of the gym, and feel like taking the risk, we also included tips to keep you safer. Honestly, though, that risk may not be worth it.

The most important thing to remember during these trying times of the coronavirus is to keep yourself safe. Taking the proper precautions can not only protect you, but friends loved ones and strangers.
