COVID-19: Getting Creative With Recreation

New rules for having fun at parks and other recreational

(Protect Yourself and Others from COVID-19)

Staying physically active is one of the best ways to keep your mind and body healthy. In many areas, people can visit parks, trails, and open spaces as a way to relieve stress, get some fresh air, and stay active. While these facilities and areas can offer health benefits, it is important that you follow the steps below to protect yourself and others from COVID-19.

When visiting parks, beaches, or recreational facilities open for public use, try to protect against exposure to SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, by practicing social distancing and everyday steps such as washing hands often and covering coughs and sneezes.

Here is your small cheat sheet to stay protected

• Visit parks and recreation areas that are close to your home.

• Avoid the crowd; be the real introvert!

• Carefully consider use of playgrounds, and help children follow guidelines.

• Consider staying 2 meter apart from people who don't live with you.

• Wear a mask (choose your own style: N95 , Respirator or Simple mask - surgical masks are even better, however face coverings looks cool too and you can be more creative with a cloth mask).

• Wash your hands often and don’t share items with people you don’t live with

• Keep sanitizer to keep your hands clean ( we know you can help but touching your face - but it's good to be reminded , right ?

You know what else is contagious ? A smile ! stay safe !
