Don't... unless it's for food or medical.

If you have to get out for exercise keep well away from people

No change that I'm aware of but I believe checks have been stepped up and fines increased

More strict on dog owners taking the pi55 too I hear. 

Why, thinking of chancing your luck?

Just that we have a dog so walk 15 mins at a time, Policia drove past took close look at us, me and partner but then drove on, we weren't a metre apart but we do live in same house, refused entry together when entering Carrefour

Movington, the O.P. asked a question that is very pertinent and obviously important to him, or her. .He or She, made no suggestion or gave any indication of 'Chancing his luck '

Let's all keep our cool. Please !

Hi traceracing,

Does your response refer to the UK or Spain? 

UK citizens are allowed out "once a day for exercise", but I don't believe that's the case for people living in Spain. 

In Spain, one person at a time from a household is allowed out to go to a food shop, the pharmacy and for urgent medical treatment.  Dog owners - again, only one person - can walk a dog within the immediate vicinity of their home, only for as long as it takes the dog to do its business.  During any of these activities, social distancing rules must be observed.

If you're saying that people in Spain are allowed out to exercise, please could you tell me where in the regulations it says we're allowed to do that?

Many thanks,

Kim

If two going out with a dog and attempting to get into into Carrefour isn't "chancing luck" then I don't know what is. 

Fortuitous that the question was asked though as it would appear that the op is unaware what the rules actually are and by sheer serendipity my jocular comment hit the nail fair square on the head.

To reiterate the rule on dog walking it should be done ALONE and only for long enough for the dog to do it's business.

I don't think it helps when we have forum members who live in Spain and others that live predominantly in England.  That's why I asked traceracing to confirm which country's regulations they were referring to. 

In the meatime, hopefully we've made it clear for jonjo what the situation is in Spain - assuming it was Spain that they wanted to know about, LOL!

Kind regards,

Kim
