Chronicling this moment via ‘Corona Diaries’

The World

The Corona Diaries gives people an opportunity to share their experiences of life under lockdown. This story comes to us from Australia. As you’ll hear from this woman, giving up the beach has been tough, and some people there just can’t help themselves.
