Easter has always been a special time for families across Dubbo as we come together to celebrate - whether it be a religious time, or a time to enjoy a long weekend with family.

But that's not the case this year.

With strict travel restrictions in place aimed at slowing the spread of COVID-19, it means today you are probably staying put and isolating with just your immediate family.

With these travel restrictions there are no day trips planned, with council parks and green spaces closed there are no picnics, and with social isolation in place there are no barbecus with friends.

Today will be quiet.

So, what are you planning for today? Are you planning a special lunch? A small Easter Egg hunt for the kids? A few chats on FaceTime with the family?

We hope whatever you are planning it will be nice and relaxing and you make the most of what you have.

Have a good Sunday and Happy Easter.
