Text of Petition:
If the Welsh Government
has to make another national lockdown, gyms should be considered as important
as shops in order to protect the nation’s health. They are a much less risk to
Covid transmission than restaurants and pubs.
Additional Information:
- 22,000,000 (22 million) gym visits resulted in a
mere 78 Covid cases
- Uk gyms showing just 0.35 cases per 100,000
visits

Gyms are still only showing 1.7% percent of cases,
but they want to close us and keep restaurants open which have a higher rate of
9.6% cases
Male suicide is now at an all time high https://www.bmj.com/content/370/bmj.m3431
Data published by the Office for National
Statistics showed that in 2019 the suicide rate among men and boys was 16.9
deaths per 100 000, the highest since 2000 and slightly above the 2018 rate of
16.2 per 100 000. The suicide rate among women and girls was 5.3 deaths per 100
000 in 2019, up from 5.0 per 100 000 in 2018 and the highest since 2004.
