AceShowbiz - Priyanka Chopra is making the most of her coronavirus self-isolation by offering up an online wellness chat with two World Health Organisation experts.

The actress and her husband Nick Jonas have been following the 'social distancing' guidelines for eight days and on Thursday, March 19, the "Baywatch" star revealed plans to host an Instagram Live event with the Director General of the World Health Organisation and another high ranking official to answer some of her followers' questions.

The live chat will take place later on Thursday.

"I hope you are all safe out there. I just wanted to come in and say hello!" Priyanka said. "This is such an insane time and all of our lives have been completely turned upside down and it feels like, something out of a movie, but it's not. Nick and I have been home for the last week and this is Day 8 of self-isolation for us...".

"I'm organizing an Instagram Live with the help of Global Citizen with Dr Tedros, the Director General of the World Health Organisation, and Maria Van Kerkhove, who is the technical lead for COVID-19 at the WHO...
