The City of Philadelphia will allow gyms and fitness centers to reopen on Monday, July 20th with strict guidelines.
Gyms in the city have been shuttered since the beginning of March because of the coronavirus pandemic. Health Commissioner Dr. Thomas Farley decided that since the city's coronavirus case counts have stabilized, it's safe to reopen gyms.
According to Philly Voice,
All gyms and fitness centers will be subject to proactive, unplanned and unscheduled visits by health department inspectors, who will ensure that those inside are wearing masks and keeping distances of at least six feet. Inspectors also will respond to complaints at specific locations.
If gyms and fitness centers do not comply with guidelines from the city, they will be shut down again. Masks must be work 100% of the time.
The announcement today comes on the tail of the state tightening restrictions on bars and restaurants.
Philadelphia continues to be in the "modified restricted green phase."
