State govt modifies earlier order to allow
gyms to function with all covid precautions in place even as K’taka’s covid tally rises by 4,553 cases
A day after announcing that cinema halls can have 100 per cent seating capacity till April 6, the State Government modified its earlier order by allowing gymnasiums to function at 50 per cent capacity. The decision was taken by Chief Minister BS
Yediyurappa after gym owners met him and apprised him of huge financial and job losses due to sudden closure of gyms in the state.
The latest directive stated that the occupancy at any time cannot exceed 50 per cent of the gym’s capacity and Covid appropriate behaviour should be followed strictly.
