Uruguay's Sports Secretary Sebastián Bauzá has said that clubs and gymnasiums interested in allowing more people to attend their facilities shall need to verify the COVID-19 vaccination status of their members.
Montevideo's gyms, clubs and sports centres reopened their doors Monday, albeit with only 30% per cent capacity allowed and provided all sanitary protocols are observed.
Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro on Monday declared gyms and hair salons as essential services that can stay open through the new coronavirus outbreak, easing measures to control the disease despite new cases and deaths surging in the country.
