Minding our minds during the COVID-19
These can be difficult times for all of us as we hear about 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 absolutely 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 positive and 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 programme 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.
Focus on facts, reject rumours and theories
1. Knowledge is power; the more you know about a certain issue, the less fearful you may
feel. Make sure to access and believe only the most reliable sources of information for
self-protection.
2. Do not follow sensational news or social media posts which may impact your mental
state. Do not spread or share any unverified news or information further.
3. Do not keep discussing all the time about who got sick and how. Instead learn about
who got well and recovered.
4. Stick to the known advice- hand hygiene and keeping a physical distance from others. It
is being careful about yourself, and also about care of others.
5. A common cold is not Corona infection. The symptoms of Corona have been well
described. Follow etiquette of sneezing, coughing, avoiding spitting in public places etc.
