Hello – I wondered if others are as despairing as me about welsh government regulations around travel to exercise? At the moment, exercise must start and end at home. We are not permitted to travel by car to exercise. At the same time, we are advised that the main risk of transmission is social interaction, especially indoors, and that this must be minimised. So – it would be helpful if the welsh government could explain why driving a short distance (say, 10 miles) alone and then walking in the fresh air of the countryside alone is banned. Instead, we are obliged to walk from our homes where, by definition in towns and villages, most of us will encounter many more people and there will be more social interaction, hence covid risk. Surely it is better to spread out in the wide expanse of welsh countryside? To me and many others, the welsh government position is not only damaging to physical and mental well-being, but is actually counter-productive in that it produces more social interaction when exercising. For those of us who live to be in the countryside the current restrictions are deeply depressing and utterly illogical. There has been no real argument or analysis to support the welsh government position. Simply the assertion that we must “stay home to protect lives”. The only credible argument against permitting limited travel might be that one could have a car accident or a fall requiring assistance – but the risks of this are low - and one can fall when walking from the home too. Moreover, the covid-risk of this seems especially low when set against the high probability of encountering hordes of people walking along pavements from their homes. Perhaps I am being unreasonable, but at the very least isn't it fair to ask for the reasoning and to ensure that measures are targeted, proportionate and based on a transparent risk assessment. I have tried to get a reasoned argument from welsh gvt but, unsurprisingly, have had no response.
