center-48006000Outdoor activities for the familyAs stay-at-home orders persist in many parts in the country, people are getting more than a little antsy cooped up inside—which makes outdoor activities a great way to get a change of scenery. But since we are in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic, not all outdoor activities get a blanket green light. There are safe outdoor activities, and there are ones that, unfortunately, you can’t really engage in right now.It all comes down to social distancing, or keeping the recommended minimum of six feet away from others who live outside your household. This is an important tenet of COVID-19 prevention, since risk of coronavirus transmission seems to be the highest when people are in sustained, close contact with each other, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.Walk in nature.Go “camping” in your backyard.That could mean setting up a picnic out there, making an actual tent or fort, or gathering around a firepit.Explore your town.When you’re in a rush—say, you’re in a hurry to get to the train station, or even to finish a workout in a set amount of time—you probably have a specific route marked down to the minute. As a result, you might be missing out on some interesting (and close-by!) places your city or town has to offer.
