A gym is a place where community transmission is more likely because of shared spaces and equipment.

Ask your gym about the sanitation practices of their machines, dumbbells, and other equipment.

Gym employees will most likely be required to wear face coverings or stand behind sneeze guards, and you’ll be encouraged to do so as well, especially in areas where social distancing isn’t possible.

The gym space should have plenty of spray bottles containing disinfectant that meets Environmental Protection Agency (E.P.A.) standards against Coronavirus, as well as clean cloths or wipes for sanitizing surfaces.

Wear your mask, maintain 6 feet of distance between you and other gym patrons, whether using the machines or not.
