Maintaining good nutrition and eating habits is important during lockdown periods where our routines can be disrupted. Laureate Professor Clare Collins provides some advice on how we can best manage our diet during lockdown restrictions.

With many of us in NSW and beyond experiencing lockdown restrictions at the moment, maintaining good nutrition and eating habits is important during these periods where our routines can be disrupted.
