At a gym, Gostin noted, people will be in tight indoor spaces where they will be coughing, sneezing, sweating, and touching multiple surfaces. They will be sharing equipment that will be hard to disinfect properly. "Literally all of the heightened risk factors for COVID transmission are all entwined together in a gym," he said, adding that "there was certainly no attempt" by the White House "to put in any scientific evidence as to why they're safe or how they could possibly be made safe."
It's why Thomas suggested taking matters into one's own hands when returning to the gym. "I'll probably bring my own wipes," he told The Times. "I'll know that they're the right wipes and they have the right concentration of alcohol."
