Self-isolation can be like watching paint dry. But not everyone is letting boredom get the best of them.

We asked how you’re staying occupied while doing your part to help stem the spread of novel coronavirus.
Here’s some of your visual responses!

Getting my butt kicked by my grandson at board games & air hockey. His parents are @TorontoPolice officers so we are stepping up while he’s out of school & they’re working to keep us all safe! We’re all in this together. #covid19 #canadalockdown #socialdistancingistheway pic.twitter.com/jKMz3XVd8B
