Mandatory for joggers/runners to wear face masks
Due to the known spread of COVID19 via expelled droplets from breathing, it seems sensible to ask runners/joggers who do this to wear a mask while also maintaining 2m distancing.
Why the contribution is important
Looking at social media, there are numerous complaints about joggers/runners breaking the 2m distancing rule. Asking them to wear a mask could improve the potential spread due to this. Recognise potential push back re breathing but it is possible to run/jog with a mask in (see photos of those in South Korea/China).

If infection rates were rising there may be a need for this, but they are falling. Changes now are likely to be around the edges, lifting the less effective ones and reinforcing the effective. This suggestion is an obtrusive ineffectual measure.

Remember those exercising are reducing their risk of severe symptoms and protecting the NHS every time they exercise.
