All Glasgow libraries, museums and Glasgow Club gyms to close amid coronavirus outbreak

Glasgow Life has announced they are to close all their venues in the city from tonight.

The charitable organisation, which manages sports, music, arts, community facilities, museums and libraries in Glasgow, has taken the decision to suspend all services in line with the Government's advice concerning the coronavirus outbreak.

A statement issued by Glasgow Life reads: "In line with the government’s advice on reducing social contact, Glasgow Life has taken the difficult decision to suspend all services from this evening.

"This will apply to every Glasgow Life venue across the city which will shut from close of play on Tuesday 17 March. We expect the suspension to continue until the end of April.

"Glasgow Life already offers a range of online resources for people to use, and we are intending to extend these services as soon as possible.

"All Glasgow Sport activities will be suspended, including indoor and outdoor activities as well as the outreach programme. Glasgow Club membership fees will be automatically frozen (we will do this, you do not need to contact us).

"Museums, concert halls and libraries will close. Community facilities will close to the public and we will contact tenants to discuss access.

"We will prioritise how we continue to deliver our targeted essential services".
