    They'd be prohibited from midnight tonight. Any gathering is.

    I get that, I'm just wondering.

    Any more than 4 in a group you can expect dispersal orders or arrest from AGS, so bit of a non runner OP

    Who said anything about a gathering or a group? I simply asked boards if there was any outdoor gym in the Swords area. Any divergence from this isn't relevant to the thread.

    There is one in Kettles Lane Park in Drynam, Kinsealy.

    Fairly new machines too and are like the ones in Malahide Castle.

    Oh do you mean the outdoor gym equipment OP? They've blocked off some of them, I don't know if it's even possible to do it with all of it.

    They've taped off the ones in the park near me.

    Cheers for that. Looks like a good set up but it's all taped up unfortunately.

    There's some in the park opposite the Centra in Seabury, Malahide.

    Also some in Newbridge House - around the back of the farm.

    Especially not metal/plastic. :eek:
    There was a news report on the BBC the other day, showed a lot of people using the outdoor equipment. (One even sad that they weren't specifically told not to).
    A virologist during the same report stated that they were among the worst places for spreading. It can survive on cold steel for up to three days, and on the plastic it's covered with for the same length of time.
    They predicted that one person using one piece of equipment in a town population of 5,000 would (going by average user per head of outdoor equipment) have the whole town infected in less than two weeks.
    Now that people (were) using outdoor equipment more frequently, and more of the equipment, you can imagine the damage it would do.
    It is no wonder they are taped off.
    Massive fine for anyone seen using it I would expect.
    Couldn't find the news report (I didn't look too hard) - but here is a list of examples of how long coronavirus lasts on surfaces
    The scientists found that SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, was detectable in the air for up to three hours, up to four hours on copper, up to 24 hours on cardboard, and up to 2 to 3 days on plastic and stainless steel.

    The results of the study provide additional insight into the stability of the new SARS-CoV-2, or severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, and suggest that people may acquire the virus through the air and after touching contaminated objects, according to the authors.

    All outdoor gyms are taped off. Trust me, that was my no1 plan, no2 plan was spending a fortune on my own weights.
