Having a lockdown keeps us safe and decreases the spread of COVID19, however it increases our free time and with lots of free time also comes boredom. Here is a list of numerous hobbies you can take up to pass your time.

Keeping active
Because Corona schools have shut down, people are working from home, many are self-isolating and the lockdown has limited the amount of travel one can do. This then leads to many of us cutting down on exercise as we are no longer taking daily trips to work or school. It is essential that one continues to maintain their fitness during this period of time. You can do this by taking short walks around your block, either alone or with those who live with you; or completing quick and easy workouts. There are thousands of apps that provide exercise and workout guidance, and ways of monitoring your health. So keep exercising and keep fit!
Overall, it is most important that we keep in contact with our friends, family and community over this time. Many around us may be vulnerable and it is essential that we come together to help those most in need. From collecting the weekly shopping for them to giving them a friendly phone call, everything counts and everything helps. We will beat COVID19, but as of now, keep clean, safe and connected!
