26 Jan 2022 Josh Levin: As a family doctor, I believe the health benefits of reopening B.C. gyms outweigh the risks of COVID-19
Josh Levin is a general practitioner working in Victoria. He is a member of the University of British Columbia’s Therapeutics Initiative.
As a family doctor who closely follows the emerging trends in the pandemic, I believe the recent reopening of gyms in British Columbia was the right decision from a public-health perspective.
Although there is the risk of spreading infection, this can be minimized if the usual precautions are taken, such as washing equipment, physical distancing and wearing masks whenever possible. The benefits of allowing people to exercise and improve their physical fitness are, quite literally, innumerable.
