Things to do while stuck inside during Coronavirus Pandemic

With the outbreak of COVID-19 in India, there is a lot of hush going on. 

All social events are postponed, schools and colleges are closed, theatres and malls are having a shutdown, and tourist hot spots are shut down. People are advised to stay home in the time of this global pandemic. You are right, it is advised that you Self-Quarantine. 

Although remaining inside is a good way to protect yourself and others from the coronavirus, and is an important measure to help flatten the curve of daily cases that put pressure on our health care system, it could lead to a lesser evil: boredom and stir craziness. 

What's there to do while stuck indoors? We've compiled a few suggestions to help make your time quarantined as interesting – and perhaps even as productive – as possible.

• Tired of cooking? Order online from the most hygienic restaurants
