Most of the countries have permitted their citizens to move freely outside, except in few containment areas.It is completely a safe decision to run on this Runners day keeping in mind these fewprecautions mentioned below:
- Stay at least 10 feet awayfrom others: This is the most important thing to keep in mind during current situation of COVID-19. Maintain a safe distance of at least 10 feet from, in order to not breathe in the same environment other people are breathing in. So, maintaining a safe distance should be the top priority in your mind in current situation.
- Always wear a mask if you’re running at any public place: Wearing mask is must for everyone right now, even while you’re running. You just need to make sure you wear a mask which is breathable. Choose masks made up of material like cotton, or linen in order to breathe properly.
- Avoid touching any shared objects/things: Keep in mind where ever you’re running, don’t touch anything over there which you think others have touched, and always carry your water bottle and napkin. If you’re running in a park, you need to keep in mind to not sit on benches. And DON’T SHARE YOUR WATER BOTTLE WITH ANYONE.
- Choose a safe place and time for running: Since, World Run is a virtual running event, you’re free to choose where you want to run. So, selection of place and time is a personal opinion. The only thing you need to keep in mind is to select a safe place and time. Choose a less crowded place/park/road if you’re planning to go run outside.
