Bengal are in Group E of the 50-over competition alongside Delhi, Tripura, Baroda, Kerala, Bihar, and Madhya Pradesh.
Many gyms in the city are conducting online demo sessions to tell their patrons about the safety measures in place before opening on 6 August. The Centre has declared gyms, which are closed since March end, can open during unlock 3.0 phase from 5 August but the biweekly lockdown falling on that date in West Bengal, many gyms have decided to function from August six while others have preferred to wait a little more.
The safety measures by the gyms include a self- declaration form by patrons that they have not been infected by Covid-19 virus.

Core Gym’s Tuhin Bhattacharya said on Tuesday that “self declaration form will have to be signed by each member which will be renewed every 15 days to know whether he/she have been exposed to Covid infected people.” This will be in addition to all the trainers and non- training staff wearing face masks all the time and keeping a minimum of 6 feet distance with members during workout.

There can’t be any touching the members for support by the trainers during workout, Bhattacharya said.
A limited number of people will be allowed to workout and divided into separate slots of 1 hour each, he said.
Neeraj Surana of Rush Gym will, however, said he will wait for a few more days, preferably my mid-August to open his facility but only one floor for workouts. “We had to pay electricity charges, salaries, and some other miscellaneous expenses like marketing, etc,” he added.
