"I come running for almost 7 hours on my balcony 7 meters long and 1 meter wide," he wrote alongside a photo of himself on Facebook. "I had the opportunity to go out to run around the house, but if everyone thinks the same we would have been out there."

Elisha added that his job had been seen as public uselessness, so the most ideal way not to get shot is by doing sports. He proceeded with that the guidelines were to stay at home, and that is the thing that he did.

"Just to show you that we have no excuses," he shared, "and please think of all those caregivers who are on the front line in the face of this virus."

In his post, Elisha said he is grateful for those who support him. He pointed out that they helped him hold on. In his Instagram Stories, Elisha also shared videos and photos of himself running back and forth on the balcony.
