It comes as Health Secretary Matt Hancock this morning threatened to ban exercise outside if Brits won’t stick to lockdown rules – as he blasted sunbathers for refusing to obey them.
But some were still snapped not practicing social distancing as they worked out in parks and cycled in large groups – forcing one London park to shut.
Mr. Hancock told the BBC’s Andrew Marr Show today: “We’ve said because of the positive benefits to your physical and your mental health that it’s OK to exercise on your own or with members of your own household.
“But if the result of that is that too many people go out and flout the other rules because they say ‘well if I can exercise then it’s fine for me to do other things’ then I’m afraid we will have to take action.
“If you don’t want us to take the step to ban exercise of all forms outside the home, you have got to follow the rules.
“Let’s not have a minority spoiling it for everybody.”
