Strategies To Manage Isolation During COVID-19
Pandemic by Curamcare

• In this COVID19 pandemic situation, Curamcare has
  suggested various strategies to manage the
  peoples Isolation process. We all need to cope
  with certain things in this time of isolation
• Here are some suggested strategies to follow to
  support isolation during Pandemic

Maintain a Schedule

• Its best to have a regular schedule. Get up
  early, have a shower, wash your hair, get dressed
  properly, do all the stuff that we would do
  during normal times to maintain some consistency.
  After that, make sure you get out for your daily
  exercise we can all still do this in this
  Lockdown situation. It is important to do this
  and not stay locked up in your house, doing
  nothing and not moving.

Maintain Your Social Connections

• We should think of Physical distancing not
  Social distancing. It is good to stay at home
  if you can or keep 2 feet distance from each
  other in order to prevent the spread of COVID19.
  But while maintaining physical distance, we
  should also use technology such as FaceTime,
  Skype, or a simple phone call, to maintain
  important social connections with both friends
  and family. Be sure to check in regularly with
  older family members or friends, especially those
  who live alone.

Take Care Of Yourself

• Self-care is vital in this isolation process.
  Taking care of yourself helps you and your family
  in coming out of this critical situation.

• Parents have got to keep themselves healthy if
  they want to take care of their children.
  Children can feel under pressure as far as all
  the stuff we see on the news, and by staying at
  home they can see the disruption to their daily
  schedules.Taking a shower without being
  interrupted, going for a quick walk by yourself,
  listening to music, yoga or other exercises, or
  talking on the phone with a friend. Just some
  things you can do that can make you feel better.

Good Diet

• In normal circumstances, eating a safe,
  nutritious diet is necessary, but perhaps even
  more so during isolation when our bodies are
  coping with the added stress. Increased emotional
  responses are normal and to be expected as we
  manoeuvre our way through this crisis. In times
  of stress, some people lose their appetite, while
  others may have a tendency to over-eat or
  'comfort eat.' Be mindful of your stress
  responses and monitor your food intake to help
  you keep track of your portion sizes and food
  choices. Try to eat healthily and limit foods
  high in saturated fats.

• The occasional treat is, of course, to be enjoyed
  and now is not the time to beat yourself up over
  the choices you make. The NHS has some excellent
  general advice for healthy eating.
• Anxiety and boredom can also cause the intake of
  alcohol to increase. Current advice is to try to
  drink no more than 14 units of alcohol per week
  if you are a woman or 21 units for men. Alcohol
  Change UK acknowledges that these unusual
  circumstances can lead people to use alcohol as a
  mechanism for coping. They offer support and
  advice on how alcohol consumption can be
  regulated during self-isolation.

Improving the Immune System

• The immune system is a complex system yet to be
  fully understood by scientists. Certain lifestyle
  factors are thought to influence how effectively
  your body fights off infection. You are generally
  advised to try to

• Maintain good sleep habits
• Eat a wide variety of fresh fruit and vegetables
• Avoid smoking
• Exercise regularly
• Manage stress levels
• It's unrealistic to expect us to make sensible
  and healthy choices all the time because of the
  restrictions and stress that we are experiencing
  at the moment. But concentrating on your health
  and making minor changes to your daily routine
  can help you stay healthy and well through
  self-isolation.
