Garner finds it hard to get parents to remain at home
Hollywood star Jennifer Garner is frustrated with her parents -- William and Patricia for refusing to remain in the home and practice social distancing amid the ongoing coronavirus outbreak.

She said: "The hard things are teens and early 20s persons and my parents. My parents will be the hard ones. I'm like, 'Dad, Mom, the world is turn off to keep you safe.'
And they're like, 'We think we will head to Sam's Warehouse.' Stay home, you will need to stay home!" The "13 Going On 30" actress added that her three children -- Violet, 14, Seraphina, 11, and Samuel, eight, who she shares with former husband Ben Affleck -- have been great throughout their quarantine.
"I think I've an ideal age kids because of this because they're big enough to comprehend and also to have the conversations, 'Like, we're built for a challenge, we are able to do this, we're a tough team. Let's find out about a vacuum cleaner'... But they're not big that they're exactly like, 'Well I don't care. I'll go'," she said.
