COVID 19: Being outdoors is safer in general, as compared to being indoors. The “Three C’s” to avoid: Closed spaces with poor ventilation. Crowded places with many people nearby. Close-contact settings, such as close-range conversation. I would continue to wear your mask. I am in a location where I can get outdoor exercise because it wide open & frankly no one is making close contact.

Mask on: Keep your mask on while walking around your neighborhood, even if others are not wearing one. Wish you good health!
