As COVID-19 patients are rising, many countries have advised their citizens to take precautions by doing self-isolation. The main purpose of this approach is to separate the sick who have the contagious virus from those who are healthy.
Quarantine approach, on the other hand, is to restrict the movement of people who have been exposed to the virus and are being observed if they will become sick for the safety of others.
How can you lower your stress level and stay sane during this pandemic?
Try to follow a routine, have some structure from your day to day activities. Planning your activities with your family can help you feel motivated and keep track of your time.
Self-isolation or social distancing does not mean to cut off social contact with your friends and family. Stay in contact with your social network, many applications allow you to call with more than one participants; this could be a fun way to have conversations with your group of friends or family virtually.
Make sure to keep yourself physically active even when the gyms are closed. Staying home can get very demotivating for workouts because you have access to your bedroom all the time! The World Health Organization recommends 150 minutes of moderate-intensity workouts per week. If you are confused about what to exercise, go to online exercises, YouTube offers many workout videos that you can follow at home!
Make sure that you are eating healthy, get the nutrients your body needs and to keep hydrated. Having good nutrients is vital especially in a time when your immune system needs to fight back.
Knowing that you have insurance that will cover the cases of COVID-19 will also ease your mind on the financial risks. Insurance coverage during a pandemic is vital for easy access to health treatment when necessary.
Many expatriate insurance policies are covering cases of COVID-19. For instance, our insurance is covering the treatments such as consultation, lab work, medical imaging or hospitalization the same way as any other foreseen illnesses within the level of protection chosen.
For those who are applying for a new health insurance contracts, staying sane is important to choose the correct plan for your needs. Not only that, but keeping a sane health condition will be easier for qualification than when you have a pre-existing condition.
