KOLKATA: From dividing members and patrons into different slots to issuing multiple restrictions, including ban on lockers, sauna and shower chambers, and strict check of vaccination and infection status before entry, gyms across Kolkata went back to the basics of Covid protocol that had been adopted following the first and second wave of the pandemic when they reopened after a fortnight on Tuesday.
“We have curtailed the gym timings and are allowing only five at a time. We are not allowing patrons in the afternoon to sanitise the entire place before the evening shift. All patrons and staff will have to display their vaccination certificate and undergo thermal check for update on their infection status at the time of entering the gyms,” said Minu Budhia, director of Addlife gym on Camac Street.
