A ban on people in England walking or exercising with anyone from outside their household is looking increasingly likely, with sources telling the Guardian it is “under active consideration’’ and “could be introduced imminently”.
Discussions in government took place over the weekend and on Monday about returning to the exercise rules of March 2020, which limited people to one form of outside exercise a day – such as a run, walk, or cycle – either alone or only with people you live with as part of a wider package of tougher lockdown restrictions.
