Today, Gov. Asa Hutchinson announced that gyms and fitness centers in Arkansas will be allowed to reopen on May 4.
There will be limitations placed on the facilities. Staff and people who have been to certain states will be screened for coronavirus symptoms. Equipment will be sanitized frequently and patrons must maintain a 12 foot distance while working out or in a class. No pools, showers or saunas will be open.
