No specific assessments have been made. The Chief Medical Officer is clear that being physically active is important to long-term health and crucial for keeping people healthy during the ongoing pandemic. Evidence suggests that regular physical activity can promote good physical health and help manage stress and anxiety.

Evidence suggests that regular physical activity can promote good physical health and help manage stress and anxiety.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether covid-19 lockdown guidance permits families who are shielding as a result of a serious underlying health condition to leave their homes for a brief period of exercise once a day.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether covid-19 lockdown guidance permits families who are shielding as a result of a serious underlying health condition to leave their homes for a brief period of exercise once a day.
We have updated our guidance for people who are shielding taking into account that COVID-19 disease levels have decreased over the last few weeks. On 1 June 2020 the shielding guidance was updated to advise that those shielding may wish to consider spending time outdoors once a day. This can be with members of their own household (which could be their family) or, for those shielding alone, with one person from another household.
For those who do choose to go outside, particular care should be taken to minimise contact with others outside their household and they should follow social distancing guidelines. Updated guidance can be found at the following link:
