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. Video games Screen time. Social media.
