Can people in the high risk group

[jeanralphio]

Go for a walk? Obviously while maintaining a 2m distance from others.

The guidance on the gov website simply says 'do not leave your house'. I'm ok with this as we have a garden, but DH who is isolating with me and therefore subject to same conditions thinks he should be ok to go for a walk. I know this has varied across other countries/lockdowns. Not sure what's best.

Yes, as long as he stays well away from other people.

Thanks - yes he absolutely will

Do you mean people who are shielding?

The advice for people who are shielding is garden is fine but going for a walk is not.

Ah right - I've not seen that explicitly. Where did you read that? And does it apply to people in the household?

Thanks so much - I don't know why I was unsure when I read that earlier. Seems pretty clear when I read it now. Thanks for your patience!
