Anxious about leaving home? Take a copy of the latest police guidance with you (England only) college.police.uk/What-we-do/COV…. Useful because it sets out how the police themselves are supposed to interpret the law. /1 
I’m glad that good sense has been applied by @PoliceChiefs over (1) short drives for a decent walk (2) stopping to rest or eat on a long walk. Repeated exercise also allowed (though NB not in Wales). /2
All officers should be aware of this guidance, but in case they are not you are fully entitled to show it to them, politely and - this might be the hard bit - from a safe distance. /3
May we all enjoy our rights sensibly, and stay safe! /4
NB credit for this guidance belongs to @cpsuk - but it has been adopted by @PoliceChiefs and @CollegeofPolice as a practical guide to help officers assess what is reasonable in an individual case. /5
