A new study has found that there might be a deeper relationship between physical activity and mental health than previously thought.
Research conducted before and during the pandemic revealed the average steps of subjects declined from 10,000 to 4,600 steps per day while rates of depression soared from 32 per cent to 61 per cent. Additionally, the study found that short-term restoration of exercise does not meaningfully improve mental well-being.
A co-author from the study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science said, 'the results clearly show that those who maintained physical exercise throughout the pandemic were the most resilient and least likely to suffer from depression.'&nbsp;

Dutch artist Daan Roosegaarde has created an installation called the 'Urban Sun' that seeks to reduce the amount of coronavirus in the air in public spaces. The structure makes use of ultraviolet light to reduce the risk of transmission, though the artist clarifies that it is no replacement to government rules or the vaccine. In the structure, an artificial sun is suspended above open areas with a UVC lamp under it, that seems to create a halo to disinfect everything within its reach, according to Studio Roosegaarde. The artist hopes his design will be installed in more public spaces so social interaction can become safe again.

South Africa's luxury Blue Train, which connects&nbsp;coastal Cape Town with&nbsp; Pretoria, is offering a short escape from the Covid-19 pandemic.

The 48-hour journey on board the Blue Train is what bucket lists are made of.
Breath-taking scenery along the way, exquisite five-course meals, panoramic&nbsp;views from the last carriage of the train, make the 2-day trek a once-in-a-lifetime experience.&nbsp;
