Interior Health orders shutdown of gyms, yoga studios

Apr 2, 2020 | 1:04 PM

KAMLOOPS — Interior Health’s (IH) Chief Medical Health Officer has ordered all fitness centres, gyms, yoga studios, or similar personal training facilities to close their doors.

In a news release, Dr. Sue Pollock says IH has determined that gatherings of people at these facilities constitute close personal contact — which promotes the transmission and spread of COVID-19.

“Fitness centres and gyms are encouraged to adopt virtual training and support as an alternative to gatherings at facilities.”

The order takes effect today (April 2), and expires on May 30. It is subject to revision, cancellation or extension by Interior Health.
