Health clubs have cautiously restarted operations to keep themselves up and running.
Despite another period of social restrictions that will be imposed until Nov. 8 in Jakarta, gyms have reopened their doors to health enthusiasts.
“It is possible for the Jakarta administration to reimpose stricter restrictions [within the next two weeks] if we face a high transmission rate [of COVID-19], meaning that all sectors that had been reopened would be closed again,” Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan said in a statement on Sunday.
Fitness centers were among businesses given permission to reopen when Anies decided to ease social restrictions two weeks ago.
Jakarta had reimposed stricter restrictions a month earlier due to rising COVID-19 cases.
Among the requirements, gyms are only allowed to operate at 25 percent capacity, must keep a minimum distance of 2 meters between guests and must not hold group training sessions in closed off rooms.
Gyms are also required to set strict standard operating procedures in common areas to ensure safety. Employees stationed in air conditioned facilities must wear face masks, face shields and gloves.
