Coronavirus - The latest government advice on exercising safely

However, exercise is still important for people’s physical and mental wellbeing, so the government has said people can leave their homes once a day for exercise.

If you do choose to go out, here are some things to keep in mind:

- Stay local and use open spaces near to your home where possible – do not travel unnecessarily

- Go on your own or the people you live with - don't meet up with anyone else

- Keep at least 2 metres apart from anyone outside your household at all times

- Gatherings of more than two in parks or other public spaces have been banned and the police will enforce this

- If walking your dog in areas used by other people, you should walk your dog on a lead to ensure you can safely keep 2 metres away from others.

- Wash your hands as soon as you get home

- If you have symptoms of coronavirus stay at home for 7 days
