There are many ways to get through this period of isolation, one of the best way is to keep yourself busy make daily routine.

Communicate with family and friends by phone and text. Reach out to others on social media.
- Stay Informed, but Not Overwhelmed
Rather than spend your time watching cable news, focus on getting helpful information from trusted sources. Sources such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), World Health Organization (WHO), state and local health departments, and your doctor can all be helpful.
