Bored during lockdown? Want to kill time doing something productive? Here are some ways to kill time by doing something productive and fun!  But at first let us have a look at ‘What is Covid-19?’ and ‘How it has affected our daily routine?’.    

What is COVID-19?

According to WHO, Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus.

Most people affected with the COVID-19 virus will face mild to moderate respiratory illness and recover without requiring special treatment. Older people and those with underlying medical problems like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease, and cancer are more likely to develop serious illness. (sources)

One can prevent the spreading by staying quarantined or under house arrest.

HOW IT HAS AFFECTED OUR DAILY ROUTINE?

Our world has radically changed during this past year due to Covid-19. It has affected our daily life as well as professional life too. Trying to maintain a normal routine is difficult. Going out during this time can be unfavourable to oneself as well as their family or people around them.

The pandemic has affected thousands of lives; people are either getting sick or staying locked so that they don’t get sick. A lot of people are dying due to the spread of this deadly virus. The most common symptoms of this virus are fever, cold, cough, breathing problems, bone pain and ultimately leading to pneumonia.

Many countries have enforced strict COVID-19 rules. Locking their people and enforcing strict rules to control the deadly communicable disease. It has surely affected the country’s business, economy and the lives of the general public. Going out without mask can be punishable offense.

If the circumstances require one to go out-door, they should take proper precautions. Make sure to always wear masks properly and maintain 6 feet distance from people. Always use hand sanitizer after and before touching anything. Sanitizing all the purchased items or delivered items. Drinking hot water regularly also helps.
