But for parents at home with their preschool children, quarantine life can be particularly gruelling.
To make the burden a little easier, daycare centres and preschools in Wagga have begun sending parents with age-appropriate 'homework' to help whittle away the hours in captivity.
Jordan Watkins, director of the Wagga Early Years Learning Centre in Boorooma has devised a series of 'missions' for her students to complete over the coming weeks.
"It's a daily mission, we've got one for the next 14 days and then we might have to start repeating them," Ms Watkins said.
"Some of them involve helping mum and dad with the chores, doing a physical activity like starjumps, building a fort outside or inside, just goals for them to achieve."

Alongside the missions, the centre has been creating checklist treasure hunts for the students to find and document everyday items around the family home. Of course, given the season, this week's adventure has an Easter egg theme.
Of particular concern to parents and educators are the five-year-old students, who would be using this year to begin preparing for their first day at school.
"For our five-year-olds, we're sending home activities like getting them to write the day, date, their name, what's the weather like, and keeping that routine learning," Ms Watkins said.
"Normalcy is the important thing. We do not want them to miss out on vital learning before school and we want them to still be engaging for their mental, social and emotional health."
Staff at the Boorooma centre are continuing to conduct face-to-face classes with the remnant of students that remain.
Although enrollment has not dropped, in just weeks the centre has gone from more than 70 children aged between six-weeks and five-years to now hosting just 30 across all aged groups.
But even as their peers disappear, staff say they have not been left fielding too many difficult questions about the COVID-19 pandemic.
"Some parents have explained it in a bit more detail, some of them think they're just on holidays," Ms Watkins said.
"We do normally wash our hands a lot, we're now just washing them a little more.
"The important thing is we don't want to scare them, and the lessons they learn now will be good ones for the rest of their lives. We want them to have good hygiene even when there isn't a pandemic."

To help in delivering the importance of hand hygiene, Ms Watkins recommends a simple at-home experiment.
"What we've done is put pepper in water, then you put soap on your finger and when you put it into the water, there's a reaction," she said.
"We say, 'the pepper is the germs and the soap makes it disappear'. You have to have the soap because it doesn't work with just the water."
