Food options

We understand that obtaining and cooking food while you are in isolation can be a difficult task. Below are some options for companies who provide home delivery services or precooked meals as well as cook your own:

Keeping spirits up while in self-quarantine

Being under quarantine can be frightening, particularly for young children. Suggestions include:

  • Talk to the other members of the family about the infection. Understanding novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) will reduce anxiety.

  • Reassure young children using age-appropriate language.

  • Keep up a normal daily routine as much as possible.

  • Think about how you have coped with difficult situations in the past and reassure yourself that you will cope with this situation too. Remember that quarantine won’t last for long.

  • Keep in touch with family members and friends via telephone, email or social media.

  • Exercise regularly. Options could include exercise DVDs, dancing, floor exercises, yoga, walking around the backyard or using home exercise equipment. Exercise is a proven treatment for stress and depression.

Reducing boredom while in self-quarantine

Being confined to home for an extended period can cause boredom, stress and conflict. Suggestions include:

  • Arrange with your employer to work from home, if possible.

  • Ask your child’s school to supply assignments, work sheets and homework by post or email.

  • Don’t rely too heavily on the television and technology. Treat quarantine as an opportunity to do some of those things you never usually have time for, such as board games, craft, drawing and reading.

Educational resources

Keeping the kids busy while in quarantine can be a daunting thought. Here are some great resources to assist you with this:
