Ospreys flanker Dan Lydiate posted a heartfelt video message onto his Instagram account on Wednesday afternoon pleading with people to stay indoors and help the NHS.
Lydiate, who has 67 international caps (64 for Wales & 3 for the British and Irish Lions) posted the clip saying “I know this is a tough time, particularly for the younger community but let’s all do our bit and all help the NHS staff by staying at home”
Lydiate went onto praise the NHS staff by saying “The staff at the NHS are doing an amazing job but they need people to remain home”
The 2012 Six Nations player of the tournament then went on to empathise how important it is that people remain fit and get exercise in these difficult times by saying “You can still be active at home, in your gardens with your family members or whoever you live with”
Finally, Lydiate explained the importance of staying in contact with friends throughout this period by calling them or using FaceTime to speak to one another instead of meeting in person.
Meanwhile, Swansea City player Bersant Celina posted a clip of himself playing football with a friend on a local beach.
The Kosovo international is obviously trying to maintain fitness with the Championship season set to resume at the end of next month with Swansea still in the hunt for a play off position.
