After the decree law of October 7, tightening the obligations on masks and after the circular of the Ministry of the Interior that on October 10, it specified, with regard to masks, that “those who have sports activities in progress” were exempt from its use. Yesterday, Sunday, October 11, a new clarification arrived, again from the Ministry of the Interior. The clarification is this:
In reference to the obligation to wear a mask when carrying out motor activities, the Ministry of the Interior specifies that, for this activity, it should be understood as a mere walk and not as a race, even one carried out for amateur purposes, since goes back to sports activity.
So you can keep jogging and jogging without wearing a mask.
We will understand
A bit like a few months ago, the ambiguities these days about masks when you go out for a run were born from the distinction that the government and the Ministry of the Interior make between physical activity and sports activity.
Motor activity is understood to be any movement or movement on foot, to walk or to go shopping. In those cases, when you are outdoors and people are nearby, the mask should be worn throughout Italy.
Sports activity, on the other hand, is one that involves running (jogging) – of any kind and at any pace or speed – or even simply walking or walking at a certain intensity (jogging) for purposes other than simple movement. In these cases, during the duration of the sporting activity, the mask is not needed. All those activities that, in other words, involve a certain level of fatigue and possible discomfort on the part of those who practice them, and in which the mask would objectively be an impediment.
But it is always better to wear the mask in case you have to stop. Also because the circular of October 10 spoke of “the obligation to always carry respiratory protection devices with you”: masks, in short, you must always carry them with you, even if you don’t have to wear them while doing sports.

The text available on the website of the Ministry of the Interior does not speak about it openly, but always on October 11, Republic me Corriere della Sera wrote, citing sources from the Ministry of the Interior, that the use of the bicycle can be considered similar to the sport activity, and that therefore the use of mask should not be considered mandatory for those who ride a bicycle.
All the rest
We talked about the other cases and places where it is necessary to wear masks, as well as fines for those who break the rules.
