The prohibition of entering a gym for an employee of the Health generated controversy. The club held the Municipality responsible and, before the victim’s complaint, in the commune they denied that there is an official provision.

The secretary of Physical activity and Sports, Liliana Artola, stated: “At no time from the Municipality was health personnel prohibited from entering, for whom we have deep admiration and respect for the work they do”

“All people who attend gyms have to complete an affidavit complying with the determination of the Province and Nation, in which they notify if they are in contact with patients with COVID-19,” he added. The health worker did so and was prevented from continuing to attend classes, for which he publicly denounced that he is discriminated against for his work.
In the commune they deny having prohibited the gym from receiving it and assure that there are other professionals who are treating patients with COVID-19 and attending the gyms, as well as people who have recovered from the disease.
“We suggest that when faced with this type of situation, the distance between the students also increases to take care of the health personnel who attend to carry out exercise physical. The idea is to propose to attend a schedule where there are fewer students, so that the person works more comfortably and his classmates also, “said Artola.
The official assured that health employees “can share the class with anyone, they are simply offered a schedule where social distance can be increased. We must also preserve the staff because another student can infect it ”.
Artola was forceful and guaranteed that health workers will be able to access all permits for sports practices. “We are never going to discriminate against someone in health. In fact, we are in permanent contact with people who work with patients infected or recovered from COVID-19, “he said.
The worker who reported discrimination because his function requires him to be in contact with coronavirus patients, whose identity is preserved, could then return to physical activity following the protocols determined by the Municipality.
