Staying active
Taking daily exercise can be important for both physical and mental health but there are a few points to remember before you go out.
- Do not meet with anybody from outside your household.
- Do not gather in public areas especially Play parks, Skate parks, and other social spaces.
- If you do encounter other people while outside you should stay at lease 2m apart.
- Always wash your hands as soon as you return home.
