• Be Creative
  When we are busy with a lot of school/college/office work, we can hardly get time to follow our hobbies, so learn a new skill from online platforms like youtube and increase your creativity level.
• Be Calm
  Staying calm during these times is key to mental health. Stop panicking about the scarcity of Ration or other necessities as a government. has said that important shops like groceries, pharmacies, etc will remain open and there is no need to panic.
• Don’t believe in rumors
