Activities For Self-Isolation
Due to the ferocious Covid-19 under the Coronavirus umbrella, the world had locked down its people to prevent and minimise the effect of the deadly virus.
At the time of writing this, there are almost 2million confirmed positive cases of Covid-19 in the world and almost 200,000 death from it.
So this is not something that could really be ignored and it is only right to keep ourselves safe preferably inside our home. We have to practise social distancing and hide ourself in our own little corner of the world until such time that the virus is gone or put under control.
In the meantime, how can we amuse or keep ourselves busy? How can we prevent ourselves from climbing up the four walls of our own castles?
I think if you have got unlimited use of the internet, then that is half the battle.
Youtube can be your friend. It has a lot of things that can inspire and teach you.
