Dog walking and home deliveries are among the everyday activities which increase the risk of contracting coronavirus, according to a study.
The study, published in the Environmental Research journal, by the University of Granada and the Andalusian School of Public Health looked at the main risk factors of coronavirus transmission during the first national lockdown in Spain.
Dog walking was said to have increased the risk of getting Covid-19 by 78% during the period studied, March to May. Supermarket home deliveries increased the risk by 94%, according to the research.
And the risk if someone else in a person's household tested positive for the coronavirus was 60 times higher, the study found.
