Do you have to wear a mask when jogging outside? (or walking etc). Can you jog with your family or small group of friends?

One day at the beginning of the pandemic I was out exercising and the police interrogated me over wearing jeans instead of sports wear. The copper was unsatisfied by my responses and directed me to return home + threatened a fine of several thousand dollars if I did not comply.
> Do you have to wear a mask when jogging outside?
Given my encounter and as jogging isn't well defined I assume this is at the discretion of the nearest officer.

Jogging, no you don't have to wear a mask. Walking, depends where you live.
> Can you jog with your family or small group of friends?
Depends where you live. But you're always allowed at least one other person, you're not cut off from humanity.
Correction - thousands, not hundreds. But comparison to the previous numbers is required, because it's approaching the peak we've seen. So close to highest ever, rather than something to be dismissed.
> Serious cannot leave your house outside and go outside for a jog … because there are 50 positive cases in a nation of millions ?
... You can still do that. There are several allowed reasons to leave your house, and exercise is one of those, and always has been.
