Pinkvilla Recommendations Of The Day: 8 tips and ideas that will help you keep fit and productive

In a bid to flatten the curve of Coronavirus spread, the Indian government imposed a 21-day lockdown, i.e. till April 14. While the uncertainty over the pandemic is still looming, the news left many people confused and anxious. Some panicked about the daily essentials and started panic-buying. However, people got respite and became tension-free after the announcement of the availability of essential goods and services were made. For those who are despising the idea and cribbing over it, let me tell you that staying at home and self-isolating ourselves is the only best thing we can do right now.

Our social distancing will help the doctors and other front-liners who are risking their lives and battling against COVID-19. We all are coping with quarantine as best as we can and Pinkvilla too wants to help you out in the same. During this 21-day lockdown, instead of lazying around or scrolling through social media endlessly, follow these tips and ideas that you can do today and be fit, productive and active:
