Although the threat of COVID-19 has called for the closing of many public spaces, we at The Observer feel that even though we are apart, what the virus cannot take away is our communities.
Please enjoy this Observer-approved list of 35 activities to do during quarantine season. We hope it will remind you that the world is so much bigger than the space you’re currently occupying and that you are not alone.
