Urgent Covid alerts issued for Sydney chain of gyms after three separate sites recorded infections

A Covid-19 alert has been issued for three inner-city Sydney gyms.

South Eastern Sydney Local Health District said it was notified about 11 confirmed cases of Covid-19 associated with Barry’s Bootcamp at Kings Cross, Surry Hills and Martin Place.

People who attended the various ‘classes of concern’ between October 30 and November 4 are being contacted by NSW Health.

Anyone who attended any of Barry’s Bootcamp classes between those dates who hasn’t been contacted by NSW Health should monitor for symptoms of Covid-19 and immediately get tested and isolate until a negative result.

An email sent to Barry’s Bootcamp members confirmed classes would operate as normal for fully vaccinated patrons, according to 7 News.

‘As per guidance from NSW Health, our studios have remained open and continue to follow our strict safety measures and cleaning protocols, including professional cleaning of equipment and studios between classes and fully disinfecting studios multiple times throughout the day,’ a portion of the email read.

Under the state’s Covid-19 restrictions, gym classes are currently limited to 20 people.

The development at the inner-city Sydney gyms comes as NSW has achieved the long-awaited 90 per cent full Covid-19 vaccination milestone.

As of Monday, 90.12 per cent of the state’s population aged 16 or over were fully vaccinated, with 93.97 per cent having at least one dose.

NSW Chief Health Officer Kerry Chant said ‘it’s pleasing to see high rates of vaccination continue to inch upwards’ as the state sets its sights on a 95 per cent full vaccination target.
