We have experienced a resurgence of COVID-19 cases in Melbourne over the past couple of weeks and thus, Victoria has introduced stage 3 restrictions over metropolitan Melbourne and Mitchell Shire. This entails people to stay at home unless they are shopping for essentials, caregiving, exercising in the open, or going to work or study (if it’s not possible to do this from home).
Social distancing is the order of the day, hand-washing and sanitising ever one's duty, as well as self-isolating if awaiting COVID-19 test results. Testing for the virus is widespread and more and more people are being encouraged to have the test. The wearing of masks is strongly recommended in situations where there is opportunity for the virus to spread, for example, on public transport or crowded supermarkets.
In our family we are able to follow all the rules of minimising risks of infection, and we are lucky enough to live within walking distance of marvellous parks in which to walk for exercise. Here illustrated is the Darebin Parklands where one may walk safely to one's heart's content. Large open natural areas can be found in most suburbs in Melbourne and they are a godsend in times like these. Keep safe and healthy wherever you are!

I am SO tired of hearing "lockdown". Unfortunately, I think this will be an entrenched part of our vocabulary.

Looks like a lovely place to walk. I'm also lucky to have beautiful areas where I can enjoy the outdoors safely, away from crowds. It's necessary for mental health!
