So now that we have some information regarding the new variant. We need to decide the risks of going back to the gym. We know it is more transmissible and therefore the chances of getting it are higher, but we also know the symptoms are less deadly and that vaccines do absolutely work on the new variant especially if you the have the Booster. There is also data suggesting that Omicron could wipe out the Delta Variant, which is good news since the Delta variant is more deadly.
But what about you, the individual? Factually speaking, gyms are very diligent about screening for Vaccines, in that they will not allow anyone without Vaccines through their doors, which is good news for you because we know Vaccines do indeed work on the new Covid 19 variant. This dramatically decreases your chances of contracting Covid.
