10-day shutdown of Bombay Gymkhana – Times of India

Mumbai: Bombay Gymkhana Club at Fort shut down for 10 days from Friday to create a “bio-bubble for staffers” after 16 of its nearly 200 staff members tested Covid-positive. A communication to this effect was issued on Thursday, with CEO RE Renjen informing members the decision was taken at a managing committee meeting. “The facilities will be reopened in phases and the date will be informed to the members in due course,” stated the communication.
“We realised our staffers were at risk of getting exposed to the virus while commuting in buses and trains. Hence, staffers who tested negative will be living on our premises and will be part of a bubble till normalcy resumes,” club president Aga Hussain told TOI. Some members have alleged that a few members had been lax in following Covid norms while at the club, but Hussain denied any such thing.
