The original guidance in the UK was to limit exercise to one hour but the actual law doesn't have a time limit.
From what I see, people are generally behaving responsibility regards social distancing and, I assume, this is just a gamble our Govt took?
Without making sweeping generalisations also, it isn't so common for young adults to spend much time with parents/grandparents/older relatives. So, I reckon, that's one big risk factor that is less of an issue here?
- chippy 7y agoI dont think the guidance ever said an hour, in the UK. it did say once a day though. Other places have the hour rule. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/full-guidance-on-staying-at-home-and-away-from-others/full-guidance-on-staying-at-home-and-away-from-others https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/full-guidance-on-... "one form of exercise a day"
- makomk 7y agoSome reporter asked Matt Hancock how long was a reasonable length of exercise, and he suggested half an hour to an hour for most people - that's probably where it came from. It's not official guidance and certainly not a hard and fast rule anyway. From what I recall the once a day part is also only a guideline and not actually the law in most of the UK (except Wales).
