File / The Outlook Under new amendments to the safer-at-home order made by Gov. Kay Ivey on Friday, gyms and athletics are included in the list of businesses that can reopen effective 5 p.m. Monday.
Things are starting to open up earlier than expected as Gov. Kay Ivey made amendments to her safer-at-home order. The changes will go into effect 5 p.m. Monday and include the reopening of athletic facilities, such as fitness centers and commercial gyms, subject to social distancing and sanitation rules and guidelines.
Specific athletic activities are still not allowed, which includes the resumption of high school sports under AHSAA guidelines. Sports that involve interaction with another person closer than 6 feet; activities requiring the use of shared equipment; and activities on commercial or public playground equipment are also still prohibited under Ivey’s new order, which is scheduled to expire May 22.
