On the beach regulations: what constitutes a beach, may I surf or swim, may I be arrested for doing so, and will the law save us all?
Beaches, please!
Sweating the small stuff? When is exercise vigorous enough to mask down.
Regulations for lockdown 3.1 indicated that the Minister of Health will give an indication on what constitutes "vigorous exercise". This still hasn't happened. This post is sweating the small stuff, by relying on the principle that laws must be clear, for us to follow it.
