More than half of people exercising more than usual
Almost half of people are exercising more during the Covid-19 crisis than they normally would.
A new national survey from Trinity College Dublin found 46 per cent of people felt they were exercising more since Covid-19 restrictions were applied, while 28 per cent reported the opposite.
It also found people are turning to new exercise options - like online workouts.
The HSE's integrated care lead, Siobhan Ni Bhriain, is encouraging people to use the 5km travel allowance to exercise.
But she's warning that people should still proceed with caution.
"I would say to people to be very very judicious.
"You know, a couple of close friends, start setting that up, but don't have a different bunch of friends every day yet."
