Answers
Answer:
These can be difficult times for all of us as we hear about the spread of COVID-19 from all
over the world, through television, social media, newspapers, family and friends, and other
sources. The most common emotion faced by all is Fear. It makes us anxious, panicky and can
even possibly make us think, say, or do things that we might not consider appropriate under
normal circumstances.
Understanding the importance of Lockdown
Lockdown is meant to prevent the spread of infection from one person to another, to
protect ourselves and others. This means, not stepping out of the house except for buying
necessities, reducing the number of trips outside, and ideally only a single, healthy family
member making the trips when necessary. If there is anyone in the house who is very
sick and may need to get medical help, you must be aware of the health facility nearest to you.
Handling Social isolation
Staying at home can be quite nice for some time, but can also be boring and restricting.
Here are some ways to keep cheerful.
1. Be busy. Have a regular schedule. Help in doing some of the work at home.
2. Distract yourself from negative emotions by listening to music, reading, watching an
entertaining program on television. If you had old hobbies like painting, gardening, or
stitching, go back to them. Rediscover your hobbies.
3. Eat well and drink plenty of fluids.
4. Be physically active. Do simple indoor exercises that will keep you fit and feeling fit.
5. Sharing is caring. Understand if someone around you needs advice, food, or other
essentials. Be willing to share.
6. Elderly people may feel confused, lost, and need help. Offer them help by getting them
what they need, their medicines, daily needs, etc.
7. If you have children at home, keep them busy by allowing them to help in the household
chores - make them feel responsible and acquire new skills.
