Coronavirus crisis: Reminder for Rutlanders about exercising outdoors

By The Editor

27th Mar 2020 | Local News

The Government has today (Fri) issued guidance on exercising and using green spaces in a bid to protect yourself and others during the coronavirus pandemic.

It says: "The Government's priority is to save lives and the best way to protect yourself and others from illness is to stay at home.

"However, exercise is still important for people's physical and mental wellbeing, so the Government has said people can leave their homes for exercise once a day."

Everyone is urged to follow the guidance to stay safe:

  • stay local and use open spaces near to your home where possible – do not travel unnecessarily

  • you should only go outside alone or with members of your own household

  • keep at least two metres apart from anyone outside your household at all times

  • gatherings of more than two in parks or other public spaces have been banned and the police will enforce this

  • if you have a garden, make use of the space for exercise and fresh air

  • take hygiene precautions when you are outside and wash your hands as soon as you are back indoors
