Get a Harvard Certification During Corona Lockdown
The coronavirus pandemic outbreak has impacted lives in more ways than one can think. Almost everyone is locked in the confines of their home, as public places including offices, schools, colleges, malls and markets have been shuttered down.
Though the need of the hour is to stay indoors to control the deadly virus from spreading further, most of us are forced to work remotely which gives us time to do things that we always wanted to. You have enough time to pick up a new hobby or focus on the one that you could not do justice during your regular working days or spend quality time with family members.
