Gyms, yoga studios and massage parlours in NSW have been given the green light to reopen again from June 13. 

The easing of coronavirus restrictions was announced this morning by the NSW Government, with limits on numbers of people and social distancing restrictions still in place. 

Fitness, gymnasiums, pilates, yoga and dance studios can reopen with up to 10 people per class and 100 people in an indoor venue.

Community centres, including their recreational facilities can reopen.

Some indoor recreational facilities including pools and saunas can reopen with restricted numbers.

Tattoo and massage parlours can also reopen with up to 10 clients.

The four square metre rule must be applied at all times.

All fitness facilities will be obliged to sign in all guests to assist with any potential coronavirus tracing and enforce the four-square-metre rule.

Gyms were shut around the country on March 23, and NSW Health Minister Brad Hazzard said the demand to open gyms again was second only to beauty salons.

"There's a lot of people desperate to get back in there and the [Deputy Premier] and I are just desperate to get back into the gymnasiums," he said.

Sport competitions

Kids’ sport and community sport competitions can restart for those aged 18 years and under from Wednesday 1 July 2020.

The return date for adult community sport activities will be made at a later stage. 

Mr Hazzard said COVID-19 safety plans for each activity or sport are critical to enable this re-start.

“Sport and businesses will need to do things a little differently than in pre-COVID-19 times and following their safety plan is key to keeping people safe,” Mr Hazzard said.

“Re-opening kids’ sporting competitions on 1 July 2020 gives groups and local government which manages many of these facilities, time to work through all the new changes.”
