How to Work Out (Relatively) Safely in the Gym

The Brian Lehrer Show | Sep 2, 2020

Gyms in New York City and New Jersey have been cleared to reopen this week, after they were closed to prevent the spread of COVID-19 back in March. Dr. Amesh Adalja, infectious disease doctor and senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins University Center for Health Security, talks about how to stay safe while working out in the gym, and Ben Yakas, arts and culture editor for Gothamist and WNYC, explains the rules and regulations gyms in NYC and New Jersey will have to follow.
