People have been coming up with ingenious ways to deal with boredom during the coronavirus lockdown.

Videos posted online show the public creating their own unique home discos, finding elaborate ways to keep fit and also playing sports with neighbours through windows.

Boris Johnson announced further a restriction on Wednesday when he said schools would close to try and stop the spread of Covid-19.

The Government has also asked the public to avoid gatherings and crowded places, including pubs and restaurants, which means people will have to think up more ways to enjoy themselves in self-isolation.
