Earlier, Mr Dowden said he wants to make an announcement "imminently" on the sector's reopening, with mid-July still the target date. He said gyms have "engaged very constructively" with the Government to "overcome some of the hurdles". Health officials are satisfied it is safe to re-open gyms by mid-July, Whitehall sources are believed to have said. Nail bars, nightclubs and tanning salons are also waiting for a timetable for when they can reopen. And gyms are likely to be faced with similar restrictions before they can get back up and running.
