Walking
By March 16
BE SAFE!
• Choose a safe place to walk and be aware of your surroundings.
• At the beginning, confine your walks to level stretches of flat surfaces, avoid excessively steep hills and embanked roadways.
• Wear clothing with reflective material in the evening.
• Walk in a group when possible.
• Do not wear jewelry.
• Do not wear headphones that blot out all outside noise.
