What the petition asks
Keep the gym open during lockdown. As exercise improves moods. Allows for daily exercise! It has also been shown to only contribute to less than 1% of all corona cases. Boris doesnt like facts thats why he is keeping the education sector open which is responsible for 49% of all covid cases.
Keep the nation healthy physically and mentally. Plus if schools are allowed open why aren't gyms as they cleaber and have greater safety measures.
