The Indian Government has implemented domestic quarantine policies to control the transmission of coronavirus disease (COVID-19). As of 22 March 2020, the whole country has been shutting its doors for 21 days, and the future seems to be even more isolated. With more and more cases being recorded every day, there is a higher chance that this lockdown will be extended until 30 June 2020.
Anyone with a travel background in areas with the highest rates of COVID-19 during February and March and people who have been in close touch with COVID-19 patients, with the help of the local authorities and of large families have been registered and strictly monitored.
Fear and worries about your health and health of your loved ones can be uncommon sign of stress and anxiety during a quarantine period. Changes in sleep or dietary habits with difficulty focusing on work and, in some cases, worsening chronic health conditions. Many people are trying to escape by consuming drugs and through alcohol and tobacco use. If, as described before, you or any of your friends or relatives, notice any of the symptoms, please bring them to your attention immediately. When the lockout is in place, depression will become uglier.
Decreasing the spread of Coronavirus is simpler than you think: just stay at home
