Sir, – It was with rising hope that I read the recently published roadmap to lead us out of the pandemic. Since then, I have been consulting it daily.
On Monday, golf courses and tennis clubs can reopen, which is good news. But how can I access one of these places for my necessary outdoor physical exercise if I live more than 5km away? Is the opening only meant for the lucky few who live near enough? Or can we interpret the distance using common sense?
I would be travelling in my car. I would not be in contact with anyone en route. And of course, once there, I would be religiously observing social distancing.
I am of the cocooning generation that was only “released” on May 5th. Having been deprived of outdoor exercise for so long, I am very keen to get started again. – Yours, etc,
