The South African government has made wearing a mask in public mandatory but has recently made an exception for gyms, according to Virgin Active.

“Government has released new regulations covering the use of masks in the club.The use of masks is no longer compulsory when members are undertaking a vigorous activity, provided that they maintain a 2m distance from other people,” said the post.

For some people, this may not come as a surprise as the World Health Organization released guidance in June on wearing of mask when exercising. Grayson Wickham, a physical therapist and certified strength and conditioning specialist at Movement Vault, speaking to CNET said, generally, it's safe for most people to exercise while wearing a face mask.
