Minutes:
The Committee considered for the petition for the first time alongside P-05-986 Allow small gyms and personal training spaces to open sooner during COVID restrictions, and agreed to write to the Deputy Minister for Culture, Tourism and Sport to ask:
· whether the Welsh Government can share evidence which indicates that gyms and other indoor sporting facilities present a particular transmission risk for Covid-19, and
· what consideration the Welsh Government has given to the importance of exercise to the mental health and wellbeing of people in their decisions around opening leisure facilities.
