Singapore entered the second phase of circuit breaker lifting, and the gym was allowed to resume business. If you want to exercise in the gym, how to prevent epidemic? "Shin Min Daily News" and "Living Well" asked local doctors to provide advice.
He Wanxin, a general practitioner of Parkway Shenton Medical Group, accepted an interview with "Living Well" and suggested that during this period, outdoor sports are ideal to reduce the risk of infectious viruses.
If you really want to use fitness equipment in the gym, it is recommended to avoid peak hours and try to choose a gym with spacious space and air circulation.
According to the instructions of the authorities, each gym user should enjoy at least 10 square metres of activity space, and the distance between the equipment must be at least 2 meters. The authorities also stipulated that each fitness class should not exceed five students. Before and after using fitness equipment, it should be wiped with a disinfectant containing at least 60% alcohol. Dr. He said that these basic hygiene measures should usually be practised.
This compliance is not limited to the period of the epidemic. She said, "I have taken Pilates classes in the gym myself and have been taking such strict hygiene measures for ten years."
In addition, members of the gym should bring their own water bottles and towels. Before using the equipment, clean towels should be spread on it to avoid direct contact. If you want to stop and take a breather in the middle of the exercise, you must wear a mask. Instructors should wear masks at all times and maintain a safe distance to ensure that everyone exercises in a safer environment.
Sun Jin, assistant consultant doctor in the Department of Chronic Diseases and Infectious Diseases of Mt Alexandria Hospital, said that instead of relying on businesses to disinfect and maintain cleanliness, it is better for us to take responsibility for our hand hygiene and be more effective in preventing epidemics.
