Sports Ministry in France imposes a limit of 2kms on runs during COVID-19 crisis


On Thursday, the Sports Ministry in France announced that anyone walking or running outdoors for exercise should limit the distance to 2kms or less. This is due to an attempt by the French authorities to slow the spread of the COVID-19 virus.

Citizens in France have been told to stay home as much as possible, only going out for essential errands outlined on the mandatory form that anyone leaving their house must carry on them.

In a statement, the Sports Ministry said that walkers and runners would need to limit their movements and stay around their own area. ...

"1km or 2km max.. You're not supposed to distance yourself from your house,".

 "The rule is for everyone to be confined. Remember that you are not supposed to leave except for urgent matters such as grocery shopping or health reasons. A short run is possible, but not a 10k!"

French authorities have also urged people to only leave their homes once a day, saying they should choose between going for a run or going to get groceries that day.
