Here’s how Jennifer Winget is coping with Coronavirus lockdown

From making new dishes in the kitchen to doing various household chores to working-out for hours on end, celebrities have been sharing everything they are doing to cope with the ongoing Coronavirus lockdown.

While several celebs are getting bored in the confined of four walls, there are some who are just loving this period. Popular television actress Jennifer Winget says that she is loving being at home. “One of the advantages of being alone in this lockdown is that I can do what I want on my own time. Many people are quite concerned that I am in quarantine solo, but it has been fine. Sure, there is anxiety sometimes but I am coping. Then I count my blessings and hope that we will all sail through this in due course,” says the actress.

She goes on to reveal that she is, in fact, busier at home doing chores than while shooting. “Cooking is not my forte but I am managing with help of video calls with friends and family. Cooking, cleaning and taking care of my mutt takes up a lot of time. So, the day passes by quickly. Earlier too, there was so much work at home but one did not pay much attention to it. Now, everything is intensified. Once the lockdown is over, I won’t miss cleaning for sure. I do not force myself to do anything and go with the flow. It is important to maintain the mental and physical balance,” she adds.

For those working from home, Winget has a valuable advice. “So many people are working from home and you can end up overworking yourself. One needs to set a schedule and take breaks. We should use this time to work on yourself which could be focusing on fitness, a hobby or just spending time with family,” she concludes.
