Read the text and find two tips, which were not mentioned in the doctor’s comments. Read the text again and discuss which tips you find useful and which tips are easy or difficult to follow.

1. Stick to a routine

Plan out a routine and stick to it. Having structure in your day gives you a sense of stability and peace of mind. For example, get up and go to bed at the same time you usually would and have your meals at the usual time. Make sure you get your normal amount of sleep. Plan different things for your weekend or day off, if working, so you can get a break from your routine, just as you normally would.

2. Get a daily dose of fresh air

Go outside for some fresh air but stick to your garden or balcony so as not to spread the virus to other people. Even just having a walk around the garden or sitting outside with a cup of tea and a book will make you feel better.

3. Eat healthy food

Make sure you’re getting your 5 plus a day of fruit and vegetables to stay healthy. Avoid unnecessary snacking which is easy to do when you’re at home. Keep your eating habits as
close as possible to what you would usually do. 

4. Stay in touch

A lack of face to face contact with others is tough. However, there are lots of other ways to stay in touch. Pick up the phone, video call friends or family and stay in touch online. You could also throw a virtual party where a group gets together online. There are also lots of resources and ideas on the internet to keep you occupied and connected.

5. Exercise inside regularly

Set aside time each day or week to exercise inside. It could be yoga, weights, dancing or other forms of exercise. There are many websites offering free virtual exercise classes.

6. Have fun

If you suddenly have more free time than ever, remember to do something you enjoy. Watch a film, do some puzzles, play some board games, read, redecorate your room, start to learn a
language or do anything else that will put a smile on your face.

7. Have a digital break

While it’s important to stay connected digitally, make sure you do have a break from it and balance your use. Plan times to be digitally connected and times when you switch to “do not
disturb” and become involved in other activities.

8. Healthy balance of news

It’s tempting to keep checking all the latest updates about COVID-19 but don’t let it rule your life. Keep informed but also have a break from the constant flow of information. Have set times when you check the news, maybe morning and night to keep a healthy balance.

9. Seek medical attention if needed 

If you feel unwell and need to see a doctor, or you suspect you have COVID-19, then phone your GP (general practitioner=doctor) to make an appointment or phone the dedicated Coronavirus Healthline on 0800 358 5453 for advice.
