Remember rules when exercising

-

H e a l t h S e c re t a r y M att Hancock has urged people to remember the rules when they take outdoor exercise during lockdown.

S o m e h ave s a i d t h e rules are vague around where they can go – and who with.

When asked about the issue, Mr Hancock replied: “Yes, you can go and exercise in the park with one other person, but only one other person.

“And we have been seeing large groups and that i s n ot ac c e ptab l e. A n d you should be two metres apart from the other person.

“If there are too many people breaking this.rule then we are going to have to look at it.

“But, I don’t want to do that because, for many people being able to go for a walk with a friend, that often is their only social contact."
