COVID-19: CDC Provides Do's and Don'ts for Visiting Public Parks

With warming weather and sunshine, more people are venturing outdoors.

The park that I normally walk at each day remains closed, so I'm walking around my block, again, and again, and again. There are 42 homes on the block, so it is not quite a quarter mile.  

Here is Guidance from the CDC on when it is safe to be outdoors and to visit a park, how to behave while there, and then when not to visit also.
