Corona is more common in sports clubs
 
 
 
Over the past months, sports clubs have been closed and its pioneers have been deprived of the opportunity to exercise their favorite hobby due to the spread of the Corona virus and the announcement of a general mobilization situation, including the closure of these clubs, where the risk of transmission is high. Today clubs are opening their doors and receiving sports fans who have been waiting for this moment impatiently. However, returning does not mean the danger has passed.
 
 
How is the virus transmitted in the gym?
 
Corona virus is known to be transmitted mainly through droplets from an infected person, and it is natural to increase the risk in confined spaces. In particular, South Korean researchers warned of the danger of exercising indoors. The researchers tracked the corona's condition and showed them how the infection was transmitted significantly in a row in a sports club. It appears that many factors can play a role in it, such as humidity, warm air and breathing during exercise, which increases the spread of virus contaminated spray in the classroom.
According to a new study, drops contaminated with the virus can remain transmitted for 3 hours, which raises the risk of transmitting the virus in crowded and closed places, such as sports clubs. The size of the class and the number of its pioneers and the unity of the exercises are factors that play a role in increasing the possibility of spreading the virus. Whoever exercises sports breathes at a higher rate and with great force and speed, which increases the possibility of dropping contaminated droplets in the room and spreading among the audience. The danger is that whoever goes to the gym may not realize that he has the virus and has no symptoms, while he can pass the infection on to others. And the danger increases, of course, in these places where the number of attendees increases in a closed place. Noting that experts confirm that the risk of transmission is highest in the two days preceding the patient's symptoms.
Outdoor sports
 
 
Based on these data, experts prefer:
 
Athletes exercise their hobby outdoors and outside clubs. Clubs can even set up outdoor classes if possible, such as parks. In this way, the transmission of infection with the Corona virus decreases among those who exercise, because the drops disappear very quickly abroad.
That the number of people practicing sport is small and that all adhere to the rule of social distance.
- It is preferable to bring special items to the class and the equipment needed for playing sports
It should be remembered that exercising outdoors does not eliminate the danger completely, but rather remains present, but it decreases with a decrease in the risk of exposure to the virus abroad compared to what happens when exercising in an enclosed space.
