A series of short videos became a hot favorite among many Wuxi locals who choose to stay at home to reduce the risk of infection from the novel coronavirus during the Spring Festival holiday.

Sponsored by the Wuxi Municipal Civilization Office, many volunteers released their self-filmed video shorts on the internet, aiming to enrich other people's lives by teaching easy exercises, rhythmic gymnastics and cooking skills.

Exercising regularly is one of the most important ways to help people head off catching infections, according to the National Health Commission.

Zhang Yiyi from Wuxi Song and Dance Theater and Xu Rui from Wuxi Radio & TV Station showed two courses of exercises integrating dancing and fast-paced music.

Wang Congjun from Wuxi Hubin Hotel meanwhile released a video on how to make a dish of light food using radishes, garlic leaves and mushrooms as the main material. Wang also suggested a balanced diet at regular times to help people keep healthy.

More short videos will be released as a regular block on the official WeChat account of Wuxi Volunteer Association afterwards.
