Maintain social distancing while grocery shopping and wash your hands right after with soap and water. - Do something that will help you maintain good mental health. Something that helps you relax or reduce the stress associated with the Pandemic:COVID-19, lockdowns, home stays. Listen to music, talk about your feelings, watch a movie.

Everything has an end!
