COVID-19 (Coronavirus) - Things to do while in self-quarantine

Although remaining inside is a good way to protect yourself and others from the coronavirus, and is an important measure to help "flatten the curve" of daily cases that put pressure on our health care system, it could lead to a lesser evil: boredom and craziness. 

Here is a list of things that you can do while stuck indoors:

Stay connected with family and friends.

• by calling or even video calling so you can see each other

• by sending a text message or an email

• by writing a letter or sending a card

Do fun things with your partner, kids or pets at home.

• play a board or card game

• camp indoors with blankets, pillows, popcorn and family movies

• watch live streams (such as concerts, animal parks, museums, vacation spots, ...)

• bake some cookies with the kids

• make a photo book

• cuddle with your pets

Take some time for yourself.

• take a nice long bath or shower and pamper yourself

• meditate and take some time to reflect

• read a book or listen to a podcast

• learn something new (such as a language, style of dance, recipes, hobbies, ...)

• start a journal or blog

Go outside the house.

• do some gardening

• clean your car

• go for a walk or a run in nature and breathe in the fresh air

Start your spring cleaning.

• clean all rooms of the house thoroughly

• repair things that you never got to

• store all winter items and donate unused items

• throw out old makeup and products

• update your first aid kit and throw out expired medication
