While we are all staying home, washing our hands, and trying to flatten the COVID-19 curve, cabin fever may kick in. Although we find ourselves in strange and uncertain times, we need to stay positive and keep our minds busy.
If you are feeling bored during the lockdown, there are a few things you can do to keep everyone (including yourself) occupied.
