Nadia Ali has big plans this weekend — even though she won’t be leaving the house. Toronto-based Ali, who works in PR, has planned a weekend of Easter activities which include cooking meals of lobster and lamb chops, putting on fancy clothes and listening to a selection of records.
Because Ali and her partner can’t spend Easter the way they normally would due to the coronavirus outbreak, they will be relying on technology — a lot.
They plan to livestream an Easter mass on Sunday, and FaceTime their family members in the Greater Toronto Area and Trinidad over the weekend. “In this period of isolation, there is something comforting about experiencing something uplifting collectively with other people,” Ali said.
