For the gyms there is nothing to do: even in the yellow zone they remain closed. If bars and restaurants have returned to welcome customers at tables until 6 pm, the same does not apply to gyms and swimming pools, which are forced to keep the shutter down again, without being sure of a reopening. “Unfortunately, if before the situation was critical, now it is starting to become really dramatic – explains Marco Contardi, president of Arisa, the Lombard association of sports companies that adheres to Confcommercio Milano -. I have news of gyms that have decided not to reopen anymore. “.
For Contardi, those who attend a gym or swimming pool can do it safely because the managers ensure “sanitation, respect for distances” even if they are forced to remain at the mercy of non-reopening. “There is not the slightest attention on the part of institutions and the Government to the world of sport – complains Contardi – and this, according to sociologists and child psychologists, is creating very important youth discomfort. Closing gyms, as well as preventing for adults to train, it creates discomfort. There is total blindness on the part of the institutions and this is becoming a social problem “. The world of sports, Contardi observes, “is having repercussions everywhere: from families, to managers, to users, and it is truly devastating. I was expecting an intervention from the government for utilities, rents, tax exemptions for sport. I expected refreshments. were commensurate with the type of activity carried out. Instead, the world of sport is still on October 26th.
