Study found social distancing wasn’t enough to stop COVID’s spread in Hawaii gyms - Hawaii News Now
Sarah Kemble, found the clusters started when an asymptomatic fitness instructor taught a cycle class.
Researchers said one of the participants of the original cycle class was a fitness instructor who did not display symptoms and unknowingly transmitted the virus to participants during personal training sessions and kick-boxing lessons at another fitness center.A third gym, where the first instructor taught a class more than two days prior to experiencing symptoms was also investigated, but no transmission was observed.Researchers also believed that shouting throughout the one-hour cycle class might have contributed to transmission of the virus.
