Stay in touch with others - While you may not go out as frequently as before, it is important to stay in touch with people. Virtual worlds provide a unique opportunity to hang out with your friends while maintaining proper social distance. Pick up the phone, and video call your family, friends, colleagues and catch up on what has been happening.

Shop online for your grocery and daily essentials when absolutely necessary - While stepping out for essentials is permitted, why take the risk? There are several online grocery platforms to serve you at your doorstep. With stringent measures taken for hygiene and safety while manufacturing and packaging of goods, to measures taken for delivery personnel, introducing no-contact deliveries and packing of orders in sanitized bags, you can rest assured of the supply of your essential items.

Lend a helping hand - Go ahead and donate some food and supplies to the people in need during this unfortunate situation. While most of us are fortunate enough to have meals 3 times a day, let’s not forget about the ones that may not be able to.
