With the fear of the current pandemic, it’s important to practice social distancing and healthy hygiene to reduce the spread of COVID-19 aka Coronavirus. Resulting in people spending a lot of time at home and limiting contact with others to the bare minimum.
Although, this is a serious matter and we can’t control what’s happening in the world. However, we can control how we react and how to spend our time while social-distancing.
