The Health Ministry says going for a walk is not considered a social gathering but British Columbians under new restrictions need to be careful it doesn't turn into a group of people gathering outside.
The Ministry is clarifying some of the new restrictions that came into effect this weekend for residents of the Vancouver Coastal and Fraser health regions.
The restrictions include bans on social gatherings beyond members of your own household for the next two weeks, while non-essential travel to and from the regions is strongly discouraged.
The Ministry says people who live alone can consider ``members of their households'' to be close contacts who are part of their regular routines, for example a co-parent who doesn't live in the same house.
