How safe is it to exercise outdoors in times of coronavirus? This is one of the questions that have come to the newsroom in recent days.
First of all, let us tell you that it is very important to abide by the official recommendations and prevention measures, such as hand washing, avoiding physical contact with other people and, in case of maintaining contact with surfaces such as doors or rails, etc., washing hands constantly with soap and water.
The reason for these recommendations is the longevity of the virus in the environment. Well, according to a study by the New England Journal of Medicine, the CDC, and universities in California, coronavirus can live on surfaces for a few hours. Check the following image:
Take the following recommendations if you want to exercise outdoors :
1. If the outdoor space is inside your homes, such as a private patio or garden, rest assured that you do not take risks and you can exercise without problems.
2. The measures that the government and health authorities in our country have taken to prevent the spread of covid-19 coronavirus include the closure of parks, sports and outdoor gyms.
FOR YOUR SAFETY, AVOID ATTENDING THESE PUBLIC PLACES UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.
In addition to this, Covid-19 is known to be one of the ‘heaviest’ viruses, preventing it from spreading by floating in the air. So there is no risk of contagion unless someone with the virus sneezes near you.
But don’t trust yourself and keep a healthy distance.
