ARCHIVED - Gyms in Spain demand masks be removed during exercise
The Region of Murcia is the only community in Spain where mask-wearing isn’t mandatory while working out
Gyms throughout Spain have demanded that the central and regional governments remove the obligation for people using their indoor facilities to wear masks, as the practice is seriously hampering business. At the moment, the Region of Murcia is the only community to have already approved this measure, while Asturias, Navarra and Extremadura allow customers to remove their masks when practicing high-intensity sports.
According to the manager of the National Federation of Sports Facilities Employers (FNEID), Alberto García Chápuli, Spain is “the only country in Europe that continues to maintain the obligation to wear a mask in gyms.”
