Keep the gyms open even during lockdown!

Rejected 13 signatures

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.
