Parts of Australia are once again in lockdown as the COVID-19 pandemic continues.

Much of what is now synonymous with isolation like baking, zooms, and increased screen time is back in full swing in many Aussie households.

It’s completely fair and normal for Australians to feel anxious, uncomfortable, and frankly bored as we try to get on with things in unideal circumstances.

There will be plenty of people who will have to rearrange how they were planning to spend events like birthdays, school holidays and anniversaries.

To make light of this frustrating but necessary time, we thought we would check in with your favourite celebrities to see how they are managing to get through lockdown one day at a time.

Some celebs have found ingenious ways to keep themselves entertained, while others have shared their delicious culinary creations and some have just been brutally honest about how hard lockdown can be.

To feel a little inspired and less alone with your lockdown plights, here is how Aussie celebs are getting through their days.
