For many of us, this is week 8 of being quarantined and working from home, for some of us this may be a much longer process. The quarantine and “Stay at Home” order are set in place in an effort for citizens in the community to do their part by minimizing the spread of Coronavirus or COVID-19. This pandemic has forced us to do everything remotely from a distance working and learning environment to finding creative ways to keep ourselves entertained while in our homes. While there are positives to the quarantine like spending more time with family and saving on gas expenses. The grocery bill has gone up and quite frankly it is not normal for us to be locked up in our homes for weeks at a time. This is a reminder that although we are in a difficult time, Physical and Mental Health is still very important. Here are some tips and guidelines to stay physically and mentally healthy during these times:
