Covid: Two-and-a-half hours of moderate exercise a week lowers risk of catching virus, study finds

Daily Mail  

Regular exercise may lower the risk of catching Covid, a major review suggests. They found 150 minutes or more of moderate exercise, such as brisk walking or dancing, reduced the risk of a Covid infection by 11 per cent. The NHS recommends people get 75 minutes of moderate activity or 150 minutes of vigorous exercise per week to lead a healthy life. Overall, the studies showed exercising regularly reduced the risk of infection by 11 per cent and serious illness — defined as needing intensive care or a ventilator — by 34 per cent. They said exercise could help reduce the chance of getting severe Covid by reducing the chance of getting diabetes, obesity and high blood pressure.
