As one who has supported the authorities efforts re Covid, I am for the first time confused, ( or hopefully ignorant of where to look to find the details) as to the changes coming about on 8 March in respect of exercise and /or meeting outside.
Apart from the specified exceptions, if I want to exercise I can do so alone or with my household, or with one person not from my household. It must be outside and "local".
I have tried to find out if on 8 March this changes so that I could go for a walk with one other person not from my household at a venue say 7 or 8 miles away. A recognised beauty spot , picnic area, or such.
All I can find on the Gov website in respect of 8 March, apart from education matters, is this.
Social contact
People will be allowed to leave home for recreation and exercise outdoors with their household or support bubble, if they are eligible for one, or with one person from outside their household. Care home residents will also be allowed one regular visitor.
So you can do as now, plus it can be recreation as well as exercise.Picnic, having a coffee etc has been mentioned, as examples of recreation.
But it seems it can still only be local?.....A picnic, locally?
How do you see it?
Has anyone any pointers to where the rules are detailed further, especially in regards to travel?
