Yes, I think the closure of gyms sends a message that maybe they are not a safe place, yet as I shared earlier, when we look at worldwide data, gyms and fitness centres are not transmission sites for COVID-19. They actually have a 0.06% rate globally, so we are safe.
We can share the message of “get outside and be active”, but that doesn't work for everybody. That doesn't meet all Canadians where they're at. As we've spoken about, we're all sitting here on Zoom, as we're doing all day long, and that's not an easy feat, never mind weather and so forth.
Actually, the British Medical Journal just this past week revealed that a sedentary lifestyle is directly correlated to severe COVID outcomes—death, hospitalization and recovery—that are draining our health care dollars, and we as a nation have shut down the providers of physical, mental and social health. As we reopen, we need a way to be here for Canadians, and that's at risk.
