No more exercise. New Advice. Have I understood correctly?

www.gov.uk/government/publications/full-guidance-on-staying-at-home-and-away-from-others

Coronavirus guidance from gov.uk now says:

Stay at home:
Only go outside for food, health reasons or work (but only if you cannot work from home)
Stay 2 metres (6ft) away from other people
Wash your hands as soon as you get home

I was going out once a day for a walk. Now that’s stopped too.

Oh, when did that change? What are 'health reasons' though? Surely exercise is for 'health reasons'?

the document hasn't changed -they've just summarised it

If you read the actual PDF, exercise is still on there

There was a full thread on this yesterday! Read the full guidance and it is completely clear that you are allowed one form of exercise a day.

If you click on the actual guidance document, it still says exercise is allowed.

That’s what my partner said too. I’m going to try and find a FAQ on gov.uk

As far as I can see, that is Monday’s announcement and exercise is fine.
Read the more detailed stuff beneath the top part. Open the document.

Wow. That is a relief! I’m going to read full document now.

If you click on the document it says:

You should only leave the house for one of four reasons:

• shopping for basic necessities, for example food and medicine, which must be as infrequent as possible.

• one form of exercise a day, for example a run, walk, or cycle - alone or with members of your household.

• any medical need, or to provide care or to help a vulnerable person.

• travelling to and from work, but only where you cannot work from home.

It says with immediate effect, but it hasn’t been publicised yet has it? I missed the news at lunch time
I hope it’s not changed 😭

Oh, sorry - crossed with others. Made me think how many times I tell DH to read more than headlines!

It’s Monday’s announcement. It isn’t new.

Click on the link on the page you have linked to and you will see that exercise is still allowed.

Plus it's from 23rd march

Oh thanks for clarifying, I didn’t click on the pdf
