Gyms in Giles County will be allowed to open doors on Friday.
Tennessee Governor Bill Lee and the Economic Recovery Group announced Tuesday that gyms in 89 of Tennessee’s 95 counties will be allowed to reopen with guidelines put in place.
“Exercise is incredibly important for the physical and mental health of our population, and we want Tennesseans to have access to safe environments where they can exercise as appropriate,” said Lee.
Some of the include restricting access to staffed hours only, allowing only 50 percent capacity, social distancing, and regular disinfection every 2 hours.
Group fitness classes can operate but social distancing and capacity restrictions must be adhered to, including no sharing of equipment or person-to-person contact.
Employees of gyms should work from home as much as possible, be screened before reporting to work, wear face coverings and personal protective equipment, be provided a sanitation station, and must practice social distancing as much as possible.
