For all of you saying people can't e.g. play football, or whatever, some guidance here:

Deputy Chief Constable Sara Glen, the NPCC lead for charging and out of court disposals, admitted that police are effectively powerless to stop people from exercising more than once a day.

She said: “There is nothing in the legislation that talks about once a day exercise. It talks about exercise only with a household member.”

She added: “The law doesn’t say once a day. The law doesn’t specify what that type of activity might be. Many people need to be out in the fresh air. We can’t specify what that exercise should be.”

She said: “Can anyone get in their car and drive to an area? These are unprecedented times. We don’t want everyone driving to the same area to do their exercise.

“All we are saying is exercise on your own or with other household members, not where there are other people.”

She added: “The messaging that’s gone out is like ‘you can’t go outside or exercise or walk your dog’, which is wrong. You can go outside and exercise, you can walk your dog, you can do it with members of your household.”
