I read in a news article where a jogger collapsed on the road while jogging and he was wearing a nose mask due to the corona pandemic.
He was immediately shifted to the hospital where doctors found out that the man's one lungs had punctured due to the intense pressure exerted by the man's chest to breath in oxygen thru the mask while he jogged.
Luckily he was saved by the doctors by performing a surgery and he is recovering well.
Doctors recommed to avoid wearing mask if there is no one near you while jogging and not to jog or exercise heavily with the mask on.

keep the mask with you while jogging and wear it when you interact with people

@Sojourn rule is only to wear mask when in public space. jogging with mask was not imagined untill a medical emergency arose

keep mask while jogging under your chin and wear it while are close to a group of people but slow down. do not exert or try to catch up with the group . jog solo if possible.

Well, if one is jogging in a secluded and less crowded place, one can just take out the mask and keep it in hand or a pocket and wear when some person is expected to come near.
The guideline for everyone wearing a mask outside was to make it less likely to have the virus spread from the (if probably) infected person to another.
If we are in close contact with a person who has virus, and he or she is not wearing mask, we cannot be safe even with a mask.
Also wearing a mask all of the time when driving is not safe but authorities are insisting on that.

Yes, but if a person is sure of being far far away from other folks, then one can avoid wearing a mask.
Believe me, last Saturday when we had to had some repairs, I had to wear mask for a good enough time, and I was feeling uncomfortable after 40/45 minutes.

That's true that when 2 people are meeting both should wear a nose mask and not just only one person .

no mask is needed but not while jogging alone and doing strainous exercise. Social distancing is to be maintained always.

I read about this too but not all of it. I can understand them saying if no one is around while jogging not to wear them.

mask doesn't allow free flow of air so you will suffocate and your lungs will try hard to breath in more air. hence you should avoid jogging with the mask . jog alone so need not worry about corona infecting you.
