The document outlines tips for maintaining physical and mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic. It discusses primary health care, the spread of COVID-19, and recommendations for physical activity from WHO. Tips for maintaining physical health include having a routine, exercising regularly, eating a healthy diet low in salt and sugar, and staying hydrated. Maintaining mental health involves keeping informed but limiting new screens, maintaining social contact virtually, and engaging in relaxing activities like games in moderation. Future treatments will focus on social distancing and hygiene to contain the COVID-19 epidemic over several months.

17. Tips for maintaining a healthy diet:
Eating a healthy diet is very
important during the COVID-19
pandemic. What we eat and drink can
affect our body’s ability to prevent,
fight and recover from infections.
1. Eat a variety of food, including
fruits and vegetables.

18. 2. Cut back on salt
• Limit salt intake to 5 grams
(equivalent to a teaspoon) a day.
3. Eat moderate amounts of fats and
oil.
• Replace butter, ghee and lard with
healthier fats like olive, soy, sunflower
or corn oil when cooking.
• Try steaming or boiling instead of
frying food when cooking

19. 4. Limit sugar intake.
• Limit intake of sweets and sugary
drinks such as fizzy drinks, fruit juices
and juice drinks, liquid and powder
concentrates, flavoured water, energy
and sports drinks, ready-to-drink tea
and coffee and flavoured milk drinks.
5. Stay hydrated: Drink enough water.
Drinking water instead of sugar-
sweetened beverages is a simple way to
limit your intake of sugar and excess
calories.

20. 6. Avoid hazardous and harmful
alcohol use.
Alcohol is not a part of a healthy diet.
Drinking alcohol does not protect
against COVID-19 and can be
dangerous.
7. Breastfeed babies and young
children.
Babies should be breastfed exclusively
during the first 6 months of life, as
breast milk provides all the nutrients
and fluids they need.

23. MAINTAINING THE MENTAL HEALTH.
There are lots of things that we can
do to look after our own mental
health and to help others who may
need some extra support and care.
Here are tips and advice that is useful.
• Keep informed.
• Have a routine.
Keep up with daily routines as far as possible,
or make new ones.
Get up and go to bed at similar times every day.
Keep up with personal hygiene.
Eat healthy meals at regular times.
Exercise regularly.
Allocate time for working and time for resting.
Make time for doing things you enjoy.

24. • Minimize newsfeeds.
• Social contact is important.
Try to reduce how much you
watch, read or listen to news
that makes you feel anxious or
distressed. Seek the latest
information at specific times of
the day, once or twice a day if
needed.
If your movements are restricted,
keep in regular contact with
people close to you by telephone
and online channels.
• Alcohol and drug use.
There is no evidence of any
protective effect of
drinking alcohol for viral or
other infections. In fact,
the opposite is true as the
harmful use of alcohol is
associated with increased
risk of infections and worse
treatment outcomes

25. Be aware of how much time
you spend in front of a screen
every day. Make sure that you
take regular breaks from on-
screen activities
While video games can be a way to
relax, it can be tempting to spend
much more time on them than usual
when at home for long periods. Be
sure to keep the right balance with
off-line activities in your daily routine.
Use your social media
accounts to promote positive
and hopeful stories. Correct
misinformation wherever you
see it.

Screen time.

27. FUTURE DIRECTION AND TREATMENTS.
Looking into the near future, containing the
COVID-19 epidemic is likely to take several
months; public health interventions will be
directed towards social distancing and
improving hygienic practices. These
interventions will be effective in delaying the
onset of wide community transmission,
reducing peak incidence and its impact on
public services.
