There is a pause in social activities, and staying at home for a long period of time is quite difficult. But, we have no choice left! As still vaccination research going on, the only option we get is to stay at home to break the chain. The most important thing is to care about our health to increase our immune system by following some tips at home.

But before that, it’s also equally important for us to stay away from rumours. Just stop forwarding any messages/photos before researching on social networking sites. It creates less panic and true information gathers positivity among people which is important for mental health.

Do not over consume social media messages, rather limit the news and better to read authentic information coming from WHO and related sources.
