On March 31, Gov. Janet Mills issued an updated “Healthy at Home” mandate to protect public health and safety in the face of COVID-19, requiring all citizens in Maine to remain at home from April 2 to April 30, with the exception of certain activities. So what does that mean for outdoor lovers? The bottom line is that hiking, walking the dog, strolling, and other outdoor activities are fine and encouraged, as long as people abide by the physical distancing guidelines that are in place. That means separating and leaving six feet between yourself and other people.
