2. As Spain imposed a near-total nationwide lockdown to fight coronavirus, residents have been exercising together on their balconies led by a fitness instructor on a rooftop.

In the following video by the fitness group Sano Sevilla Los Bermejales, the trainer can be seen leading people on their balconies in a workout class. The clip eventually pans out to show numerous people doing jumping jacks.

The unique exercise class comes after the World Health Organisation (WHO) released mental health guidelines for those in quarantine. According to the organisation, those isolated or confined to their homes should stay connected and try to maintain their daily routines as much as possible.
