Outdoor activities such as boating and fishing bring families, friends and communities together. Now more than ever, coming together and staying active are critical, but also more challenging.
Above all else, the health and wellbeing of you and your family is the top priority. The spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19) and increased time at home has led to questions about how to stay active and how to safely enjoy outdoor activities such as boating and fishing.
Guidelines from the CDC and state and local departments of health are rapidly changing in response to this issue. While outdoor activities are still encouraged in many areas, a growing number of states have issued Shelter-in-Place or Stay-at-Home orders which may mean access to the water is discouraged or prohibited.
No matter what situation you’re in, you can still learn how to stay active while social distancing.
Now that you know how to stay active while social distancing, be sure you review your state and local safety guidelines to keep everyone safe and healthy.
