People are becoming itchy cooped up inside as stay-at-home orders continue to be issued in many parts of the country, which makes outdoor activities a perfect opportunity to get a change of scenery.
It all boils down to social distancing, or staying at least six feet apart from individuals who reside outside your family. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, this is a fundamental aspect of COVID-19 prevention since the risk of coronavirus transmission appears to be highest when people are in continuous, intimate contact with each other.
Do you need some inspiration? Take a look at the list below and remember these safe outdoor activities for the next sunny day (or any day—we're not picky!). Remember, if you reside in an area where you will come into touch with people other than your family, you must wear a mask. Remember that even if you feel OK, you might be an asymptomatic carrier, and wearing a mask can help.
