Exercising during Covid 19

Connection

Keep in contact with your families, friends and neighbours (particularly those living alone) via telephone, FaceTime, Skype, Family Group Zoom calls or in getting your children to write a letter or send a postcard or a drawing in the post to their grandparents who are    cocooning to keep themselves safe.

Exercise

It is really important for all family members to exercise everyday to boost your immune systems within your home and outside of your home (walk/jog/run/cycle) adhering to social distancing (6 feet apart from others) within 2k of your home (as per the most up to date government guidelines).
