PARKS, OUTDOOR SPORTS FIELDS

All parks will remain open. However, it is important to respect the physical distance of 2 meters.

The tennis courts will remain open, but only singles play is permitted.

As for basketball courts, as the game must respect the physical distance of 2 meters as well, no game will be allowed.
