You can also still go outside once a day for a walk, run or cycle. When doing this you must keep the time you are out of your home to a minimum and stay at least two metres away from anyone else that isn’t from your household. The message from government is clear – stay at home to save lives. When you go out, stick to the social distancing rules.
