Fitness enthusiasts are working around pandemic to work out

Daniel Otieno, a gym instructor, says that since his gym was closed, he talked to some of his trainees and they agreed to move their morning workout to the field where they can observe social distancing while still keeping fit.

"Due to social distancing we have had to change our venue and we have also reduced the period of time we work out to reduce chances of spreading the virus. The fact that the gyms are closed means that trainers like myself have lost our income but with such arrangements I am able to make something small," Otieno said.

He added that before and after the workout, he has to sanitize all the equipment, including mats, and the people who attend his workouts have to sanitize too.

During the government briefing, Aman said that a directive will be given in the coming days on contact sports that attract fans.

"On the sports that draw public gathering and contact sports, considerations on whether it is possible to allow them to reopen without endangering the fans will be considered in line with the procedure and protocols that have been put up in place by the Ministry of Sports," Aman stated.
