Friskis attracted people to the gym - despite the advice against infection control

On Tuesday, new stricter advice came for residents in Jönköping County to reduce the spread of the coronavirus, among other things, they were urged to avoid going to the gym.

At Friskis and Svettis in Jönköping, several measures have been taken.

They have closed showers and saunas, visitors are not allowed to change in the changing room and they have fewer participants in group training.

At the same time, however, Friskis wrote a post on Facebook that they can enable training with them, despite the stricter advice.

Malin Bengnér, an infection control doctor, says that the message about avoiding the gym applies.

- I think this is getting a little crazy, that we do not close down the gym does not mean that it is free to go there, says Malin Bengnér, infection control doctor.
