Just make sure that you remain two metres away from other people and don't touch any surfaces!

Yes it's okay to go dog walking or any kind of walking. You can only catch the virus via human to human ( transport ) and not from the air.

We have a chocolate Labrador that needs daily walks.

If we follow government advice to "stay at home", does this also mean we shouldn't walk the dog - even if we ensure that we don't interact with anyone and we are currently symptomless?

What are other over 70 year olds planning to do? We feel that dog walking on your own should be OK.
