Brief Answer:
You can walk

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for the query.

Levofloxacin has fewer side effects with musculoskeletal tissues. These effects are reversible after you stop the medicine. Hence we advise to stay away from high sporting activities and unusual physical exertions which are not routine.
You can walk in the mall unless you have muscle pains or swellings.
Hope this answers.
