Cabin fever is driving out the masses. Yes, it’s still perfectly safe to step outside and get moving in most places, provided that you’re healthy and aren’t part of a high-risk population. But remember, going outside isn’t a free-for-all. The CDC warns that you should maintain at least six feet of distance between you and others, so if you go outside, keeping your distance is a great first line of defense. Skip the mask – healthy exercise requires plenty of access to oxygen, and wearing a surgical mask or N95 respirator makes it much harder to breathe. Use best disease prevention practices – the best way to prevent coronavirus after venturing outside is still to obey tried-and-true public health measures including: washing your hands, avoiding touching your face and frequently disinfecting used items and surfaces. Go get some fresh air and exercise!
