A London doctor is using magic tricks to help people manage their mental health during the coronavirus lockdown.

Dr Mahesh Chhaya's social media videos give tips on managing wellbeing as well as informing people about the virus.

He started making the videos in self-isolation after treating a patient with Covid-19.
