Despite the ban on gatherings, they staged protests in several cities across the country demanding changes to the new regulations. “This is our end”, they chanted, “the government deprives us of jobs and livelihood”.
The protesters argued that physical activity especially in these times strengthens immunity and helps keeping up in good shape and that no one feeling ill will attend a gym or go swimming.
According to epidemiologists, the threat is not in the fitness clubs or swimming pools but in huge gatherings of people. "We have to adhere to self distancing rules, avoid crowds and keep our faces covered to limit the spread of the virus" point experts.
