With South Africa currently on Level 4 of lockdown we are allowed to jog, walk or cycle between the hours of 6AM and 9AM - within a 5km radius of where we live. A lot of people have embraced this but it is also important to keep safety in mind.
The following tips will help you do so safely:
| Take a friend with you while still adhering to social distancing rules
| Don't take the same route every day - make your route unpredictable to an outsider
| Face oncoming traffic - do not turn your back to it
| Wear something bright so that you are visible to drivers
| Don't leave your house unlocked, take the key with you
| Keep your ID and phone on you - in case you need to call for help or you are unable to do so
These are just a couple of tips to help you stay safe while you also stay healthy
