<p>After British police warned of “confusion” over where people can visit, ministers updated guidance to urge the public to only use “open spaces” near their homes where possible.</p>
<p>British Prime Minister Boris Johnson this week ordered the public to stay home other than for essential travel and for a once-daily exercise to help ease the strain on the NHS in the fight against Covid-19.</p>

<p>Ahead of a major test for social distancing on Saturday, the Environment Department updated its guidance on how to stay safe when exercising.</p>
<p>The public should “stay local and use open spaces near to your home where possible”, it said, adding: “Do not travel unnecessarily.”</p>
<p>And people should keep at least two metres from anyone they do not live with when out exercising.</p>
<p>Earlier Staffordshire Police acknowledged there had been “some confusion” as to where they are allowed to visit – as a neighbouring force defended its use of drones to deter people visiting the Peak District.</p>

<p>Derbyshire Police attracted criticism from some quarters after posting footage shot by its drone, drawing attention to what it said were clearly unnecessary journeys.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, Avon and Somerset Police said such non-essential travel included “driving to local beauty spots to do exercise”.</p>

<p>Elsewhere, Cumbria Police warned drivers would face fines as they “closed” the Lake District, with North Yorkshire Police also telling people to stay away from beauty spots.</p>
<p>The National Police Chiefs’ Council lead for charging and out of court disposals, Deputy Chief Constable Sara Glen, also urged people to “be sensible”.</p>

<p>She said: “There isn’t anything definitive in the legislation that talks about ‘can you get in a car to drive to a place to go and do your exercise’.</p>
<p>“It just gives the guidance that we’re giving, that can we all be really sensible about this.”</p>
