People keep saying that it’s totally safe to go outside for exercise.
Well, yes and no. If you are going out walking or cycling, you still have to maintain a social and physical distance. Fresh air won’t stop the transmission of COVID-19 if you get too close.
It’s why some cities, such as Burnaby, have made certain trails one-way only so people don’t pass each other.
The City of Burnaby also teamed up with the City of New Westminster along with regional Central Valley Greenway to create a path that will enable physical distancing for walkers and wheelers along a “tight segment” where North Road becomes East Columbia Street.
As you can see from the photo, cones have been set up and signage is now in place.
