Low- to moderate-risk outdoor activities

Some outdoor activities have a low to moderate risk of exposure to the virus that causes COVID-19. Basically, the less an activity brings you into contact with groups of people, the lower the risk of exposure to the virus.

Outdoor patio dining at uncrowded restaurants where patio tables are spaced apart is typically safer than indoor dining.

Gathering with a small group of friends and meeting outdoors may be a good option.

At the beach or swimming pool, it's the close contact with others, not water itself, that can make activities at these locations risky. Water itself doesn't spread the virus that causes COVID-19 from person to person.
