Safe outdoor activities during the COVID-19 pandemic

Low-risk ways to move more

When COVID-19 is spreading in your area, low-risk activities can keep you active in a safe way. In general, any activity that allows you to keep your distance from others is a lower risk activity.

Wearing a mask can give you added protection against catching the COVID-19 virus.

In warm or cold weather, there are many ways to be active outdoors. Walking, running and hiking are common options either in your neighborhood or at a park.

Cold-weather activities, such as skiing or sledding, can be an option for one person or a group. Finding a fun activity during the cold months can help you enjoy the season and winter activities more.
