Hailey and Justin Bieber have been practising physical distancing at their home in Canada during the global coronavirus pandemic.
The 23-year-old model revealed that she’s “been happier” than she’s felt “in months” while self-isolating with her husband in Waterloo, Ont.
“I thought I was going to have a lot of anxiety through this process and there has been some. But it’s also really shown me that the simplicity in life and kind of dialling everything back has made me so happy,” she said during Justin’s Instagram Live video.
“I’ve been happier than I felt in months just from being able to be low-key and just hang, and not have things on a schedule. I feel really reconnected with myself and that’s unexpectedly made me really happy.”
She also spoke about the couple’s home in Canada and how they are able to still enjoy nature.
“We have a place out here and we’re super lucky we have a lot of space to kind of just walk around and move around,” she said. “I swear I feel like I’ve gotten so much more done in this quarantine than I have in, like, a year.”
During the Instagram Live, Hailey revealed that she might be working with skincare in the future.
Meanwhile, Justin joined the ever-expanding roster of musicians affected by the coronavirus pandemic as his entire 2020 tour was postponed.
As a result of the threat and concern surrounding COVID-19, the 45-date North American tour was postponed on April 1, according to an official statement obtained by Variety.
“In light of the current public health crisis, and with the deepest concern for all those being affected, Justin Bieber will be postponing all currently scheduled 2020 dates for the Changes Tour,” the statement read.
“While Justin — along with his band, dancers and crew — has been hard at work preparing an amazing show, he has always put the health and well-being of his fans first and foremost.”
While concert dates are yet to be rescheduled, “Justin is anxiously awaiting the opportunity to get back out on the road and perform in a space that is safe for everyone,” the statement read.
The Intentions singer has requested that current ticketholders hang onto their tickets rather than request a refund as all previous tickets will be honoured at the soon-to-be organized dates.
Questions about COVID-19? Here are some things you need to know:
Health officials caution against all international travel. Returning travellers are legally obligated to self-isolate for 14 days, beginning March 26, in case they develop symptoms and to prevent spreading the virus to others. Some provinces and territories have also implemented additional recommendations or enforcement measures to ensure those returning to the area self-isolate.
Symptoms can include fever, cough and difficulty breathing — very similar to a cold or flu. Some people can develop a more severe illness. People most at risk of this include older adults and people with severe chronic medical conditions like heart, lung or kidney disease. If you develop symptoms, contact public health authorities.
To prevent the virus from spreading, experts recommend frequent handwashing and coughing into your sleeve. They also recommend minimizing contact with others, staying home as much as possible and maintaining a distance of two metres from other people if you go out.
