Ahmedabad: Despite nods from the state and central governments to reopen clubs in accordance with the standard operating procedure (SOP), clubs in Ahmedabad remain doubly cautious and are resuming normal functions in phases. On Monday, the Gujarat Sports Club, which was the first club in the city to shut its premises and convert it into a Covid-care centre, finally opened its doors to the members.
Initially, the club will remain open with restrictions in timings and for only two facilities – health club and restaurant.
“We have currently resumed operations for the health club and the restaurant. Members need to seek a prior appointment for availing the facilities at the health centre and will be permitted to be at the health centre for an hour only,” said Mayur Shah, general manager of the club.
The club has shifted its health club from an air-conditioned premise to an open-air space with due social distancing.
“While there is no prior appointment needed for the restaurant, we are permitting people for 75 minutes only. Arrangements have been made only for 50 people at a time, keeping the social distancing norms in mind,” Shah added.
In accordance with government guidelines, the club has restricted the entry of senior citizens for the time being.
“Before the club resumed operations, the entire staff underwent a Covid test to ensure their as well as the members’ safety. That apart, we have also conducted a dress-rehearsal in the presence of doctors before the opening of the club so that members as well as staff gets attuned to the new SOP that is supposed to be followed,” said Naimish Marfatia, honorary secretary of the club.
The first day did not see much footfall at the club and it was less than 10% of the footfall on a regular day. Based on the response, a few other activities will also be resumed in the days to come.
