Wash your hands after you handle mail or a package.

• Do Exercise: Lockdown restrictions and SD measures should not stop you from staying fit. You might not be able to visit your gym but you can surely perform basic exercises and Yoga asanas in the comfort of your home. If exercising is not your cup of tea, maybe you can spare fifteen minutes of your day for dancing to your favorite music.
