Prevent From Eating Out

Eat at home to lower your chance of being exposed to COVID-19 and lessen your rate of contact with other people. It is recommended to maintain a distance of at least 2 meters between yourself and anyone who is sneezing or coughing. That is not always possible in crowded social settings like cafes and restaurants. Droplets from infected people may land on surfaces and hands of an individual.

Counselling And Psychosocial Support

People with chronic illnesses that have confirmed or suspected COVID-19 might need support with their diet and mental health. It is to make sure that they keep in good health. Look for psychosocial and counseling support from well-trained healthcare professional.
