After sweeping China, the coronavirus spread to Europe and is wreaking havoc on the old continent. Terrible news from Italy, a country plagued by the tragedy of the disease without sufficient resources and adrift; Spain is now with its hospitals overflowing and in the United States it is finally beginning to sink in that this virus is not just a meme joke or a fake news: what is happening with the Covid-19 is very dangerous and very real.

An Australian doctor and journalist, Dr. Norman Swan, warned that people who go to gyms be extremely careful, as they are perfect places as a breeding ground for the virus.

Swan told ABC that people who train in gyms can't forget to thoroughly clean exercise equipment before using it with alcohol and wash their hands with soap and water before and after.

"It is not that they cannot go to the gym during the coronavirus outbreak, just that they have to be very careful when doing it and clean what they touch with antiviral hand products before using them" and added that in the gyms there is a lot of sweat and a lot of humidity.

When asked if it was advisable to use saunas in these difficult times of coronavirus, his answer was negative: "I would not go near the wettest areas, if I am completely honest with you," he said. He also confessed that "nobody knows" how the coronavirus reacts to the effects of heat.
