Handy repairs

At home there are usually many repairs that we leave for another day. But since now what is left is time, you can take advantage of it to fix everything that is broken or decomposed and that you do not want to throw away. Of course, what requires a professional, such as plumbing, better leave it in the hands of experts for another occasion.

Board games and TV shows

If you are quarantined with your familia, have some fun. Take out those board games that you haven't played in a while and have fun in a big way. If you are tired, put on a series or several movies that will keep you interested in fictional stories.

Stay in touch with your loved ones

Search your friends and send them messages to find out how they are. If quarantine does not allow you to meet, do so via video call. Everyone can prepare dinner at home and eat together thanks to technology. They can even watch series at the same time thanks to the Netflix Party extension.
