How to stay calm during the COVID-19 pandemic
COVID-19 UPDATES: (20/03/2020) Out of the total 85 confirmed cases, 16 cases have recovered & no death has been reported in Vietnam.
As information about the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve, Big C provides tips on how to manage any stress and anxiety you may feel, as well as the well-being of your family, friends, and the community. There's still plenty of things that you can do to help fight the COVID-19 pandemic!
According to WHO, people should try to stick to their daily routines, prioritize their well-being, get plenty of sleep, be physically active, drink plenty of water, and eat nutritious food.
Wear medical masks or cloth masks, regularly rinse and gargle with mouthwash, and keep your surroundings clean.
It may sound way too simple, but regular and thorough handwashing is one of the best ways to protect yourself and your family from the COVID-19. So remember to add soap and sanitizer on your shopping list!
To avoid panic buying, each family should prepare food, household supplies, and medical essentials for at least 2 weeks.
Dry good: rice, instant noodles, spices, beans, canned food, coffee, and tea should be included in your shopping list.
Household supplies: soap, toothpaste, mouthwash, hand sanitizer, paper towels, tampons, diapers, and skincare products.
Medical essentials: you should prepare copies of health records, especially families with seniors and toddlers and get a 30-day supply of your prescription medications. Buy pain relievers and cough and cold medicines. Maintain a first-aid kit with supplies (cotton, gauze, bandages, thermometers).
