France, the sports mask arrives to reopen gyms - Lifestyle

The French Minister of Sport, Roxana Maracineanu, has announced a project that will allow the resumption of sporting activity in gyms and indoors despite the pandemic.

"Sports masks" with a brand that will allow the wearer to practice indoor activities are in preparation, he told RTL microphones.

    "Sport - said the minister - has suffered a strong impact because it cannot respect the safety distances imposed by the crisis. With these sports masks, which we are about to bring to law, we hope to be able to re-establish this balance between sport, essential for the health of the French, and these precautions that must be taken because of the crisis ".

    The ministry works closely with the French health authorities to establish the norm for these masks: "We gave ourselves two weeks to see if the measures taken with the curfew at 6pm and the blocking of certain activities will have an impact on the figures" , added the minister, who expects to have the sports masks available "within a month".
