Bingo In The Flats And Living Room Gigs Due To Social Distancing

Covid-19 bingo

A community in Dublin has been playing bingo to pass the time while social distancing.

A block of flats in Ringsend came together to play communal bingo.

By the end there was a winner.

People have been using their creativeness during the outbreak to come up with ways to communicate.

A lot of people took part in virtual table quizzes last night.

Users took to platforms such as Microsoft Teams or Zoom  to have joint parties.

Another trend which has taken off is artists hosting living room gigs.
